It says Android and iOS are supported environments. How would you execute a Node app on a phone?

  At least on Android, Termux is pretty great: https://termux.com/ https://termux.com/

  If it works in a browser, you can run it in a Webkit wrapper.

    Or in Electron. Ok, not the coolest solution but options are always good.

    Standard caveats apply (i.e. WebRTC is unsupported outside safari)

  Why couldn’t you host a web app on a phone?

  You can include JS in iOS apps. You basically embed Javascript and call it directly from Swift/ ObjectiveC and it runs on the same Javascript engine that runs in Safari.

    Can you run Node on iOS or Android?
    • ogre_codes 6y ago
      I don't think you need to. Node is essentially a way to run Javascript from the command line. iOS provides a different way to run javascript. I think you just build the app similar to the way you bundle something for the web.

  I think you can additionally use it with React Native. I saw a cross-platform android/ios GitHub client using it.¹ [1] https://twitter.com/GitShark/status/1273043228355252224 https://twitter.com/GitShark/status/1273043228355252224
