RFC: Ready-made, plugged-in mobile apps

Is your change proposal related to a problem? Please describe.

In certain scenarios, web-based access to Docq may be less desirable than mobile access - think frontline workers as an example.

Propose the solution you'd like

The target here is NOT about simply having a mobile app, but a way to deliver the new capabilities by extensions and plugins (see #9) with minimal effort to the mobile client/channel. This requires a rethink about what we should build as well as how we should build it. A possible direction is on-demand or hot reloading in Docq mobile, as a technical solution.

Cross-platform solutions such as RN and Flutter could be the candidates here.

Another consideration is customizability within mobile apps. If Docq is turnkey then Docq mobile should be turnkey too.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Could use responsive (web) design for mobile web access - unless we're satisfied with the UX it's unlikely to be the solution here.

Additional context

Multi-tenancy support in mobile apps is one to consider, i.e. like Slack where you can load multiple organisations from one Slack mobile app.
