What do you exactly mean? The frontend should work on android with chrome browser, but the backend will not work.

Lots of devices are now running android and windows 10. Windows 10 is sometimes just a bit of a pain, auto updates. I was wondering if laser web could be installed on android. Is there a reason the back end will not work or just no need before?

The backend runs on NodeJS (and needs some node libraries). If it's possible to run NodeJS on Android, there is a good chance that lw.comm-server could also work.

I searched and found that it should be possible to run NodeJS on Android via Termux, which looks like a linux terminal emulation (see https://medium.freecodecamp.org/building-a-node-js-application-on-android-part-1-termux-vim-and-node-js-dfa90c28958f). Would be nice if someone could test.
