I took a similar approach with PHONK https://phonk.app https://phonk.app The differences are: - It uses a Javascript interpreter - It includes an on-device-h

I took a similar approach with PHONK https://phonk.app https://phonk.app The differences are: - It uses a Javascript interpreter - It includes an on-device-hosted WebEditor, so you can code also from your computer - Simplified API - API that allows to do cool stuff such connect to Arduinos, BT BLE, MQTT, sensors, etc After some time on hold I picked up dev again and I'm about to release a pretty nice release soon. I invite you to join the Discord channel as I will start posting updates there :) https://discord.com/invite/Rt2mkWp https://discord.com/invite/Rt2mkWp (EDIT: formatting)

The play store link seems to be broken or is it just me?

  Yes, it's broken. I'll update the website soon with the next release to reflect this. Work&family doesnt leave me much free time for this :) Not so far ago, Google changed some policies where you had to give good reasons to allow the app to access the location in the background. PHONK was unlisted then because I failed to showcase the reason for using the background location (they wanted a video and the video I provided seemed not clear enough to be understood) PHONK is a coding environment that gives a lot of power to the user to do pretty much anything with the device. So if you want to make a script that runs in the background to create a Geolocation game, you can do it. After a few changes like this, I realized that I'm going to distribute PHONK only as an APK, F-droid from the next version, and of course with the source code in Github. Just to make it clear, PHONK doesn't use analytics or send info anywhere as opposed to most of the apps. I had hoped Google store could see that to give more margin for apps that behave nicely with the user.

    Maybe it would be a good idea to link to F-Droid then? I'm using it and would've totally ignored the app if you didn't reply here :)

      Yes, I will do it in the next release. PHONK got a bit fat and it had to be on a diet before going to F-droid. They have an APK limit :)

Does this support npm?
- victornomad 4y ago
  I does not. It uses an old JS interpreter called Mozilla Rhino that binds nicely with Java.

thanks for the pointer! As ten-thousands before me I just had the epiphany that phones need to be more like Apple-IIs or a web-inspector, where you drop to a development environment / shell to edit and create your own apps
