Description
Blocknotes proved WordPress can run on mobile devices. Currently it uses iCloud for synchronization. Let's explore a toolchain that enables bundling any WordPress site as a mobile app with a single command.
This issue is to start the discussion and explorations around that specific angle to grow the WordPress ecosystem.
The WAMR and Chicory runtimes could be useful for shipping WASM in mobile apps. Alternatively, the app could bundle a cross-platform runtime like Wasmer – this could enable exporting Playground sites as platform-specific executables in a similar way to what QuickJS-emscripten does.
Pre-compile the WASM for each platform (AOT) would speed up the startup. So could shipping the initial memory snapshot.
