Add mobile support

Open Trikzon opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Right now, the web browser relies on Electron's Web View. However, the mobile app doesn't use Electron and so I will have to rewrite the plugin to use an iframe on mobile. This will likely mean that mobile won't have all the features that desktop has, so I'm not sure mobile is even worth supporting.

Hi, I'm a user of your amazing plugin. It helps me focus on my work without switching software. But when I switch to iPad, the plugin fails and it really lower my work efficiency. Obsidian has many mobile platform user like me. I'm sure it's worth trying to support this plugin on mobile.

This is the most creative plugin I installed of the year. I will share it with my friends and on forum.

I will definitely attempt to get mobile support. Many of the features are possible, I think, but I worry that due to the way the app is built fewer websites will work and some features might be impossible to add to mobile.

For now I'm focusing on desktop because that's what I use and there are a ton of features left to be added, but mobile will likely come in the long term.

That's great. Hope to use this plugin soon on iPad.

By the way, according to my personal usage experience, the plugin on PC has satisfied all my requirement completely. I think the plugin integrated in Obsidian can't and don't need to replace browser. I just use it for simple searching and when I want to do something complex, I will switch to my browser. For example, I won't see Netfilx on Obsidian.
