It&#x27;d be great to get any feedback on these. I&#x27;ve tested only on a Samsung 4S-mini. Some notes:<p>- Inside, the apps are Cordova and ~1500 lines of vanilla ES5 and CSS<p>- Behind that are some build&#x2F;preprocess steps which basically flow: img scraping and resize scripts -&gt; [content] + ~100 line yaml config -&gt; build scripts -&gt; apk<p>- Prototype app includes diagnostic controls for the game&#x2F;passtime itself and various DOM event&#x2F;property logging used to construct&#x2F;refine things<p>- The &quot;finished&quot; apps are intended as a boring-as-possible, feature-minimum case<p>- Thinking about whether it&#x27;s worth developing this or similar toward 99¢ apps, custom versions, an SaaS approach or something else
