Wish their was a native Novel crafter Mobile Application

I think a full featured mobile app would be amazing, but for now, I would love if there was a simplified mobile view that was stable and consistent. For me, this would be just touch friendly cards for each novel > plan view with a card for each scene > super simple, full-screen text editor with debounced autosave for editing or writing new scenes. (Think mobile Scrivener.) Maybe on the Plan view, we could have a toggle that would let you enter the codex instead, where you could tap to edit each codex entry as well. Most of the time, I only want to do quick edits or really rough scene drafts on my phone. I don't need the whole app!

Yes, me too. I use novelcrafter on my desktop most of the time, but at work I have occasional breaks or slow days that are an opportunity to use my phone. I'd like to spend these times writing, but the novelcrafter web app on my phone is practically non-functional. I want to be able to write on the go whenever I can but I'm essentially locked to working on my book at my desk.

Can I suggest an alternative that might be less work to create? Maybe a capture app, such as the Tana Capture app. An app that takes a Novel name as its input. And every text or speech-to-text entry becomes a snippet labele d INBOX YYYY-MM-DD@HH:mm:ss.
That would give us a quick way to capture that brilliant idea into NC directly. And avoids spaceemotion and party having to step away from NC's core functionality. Plus, for any decent FULL mobile implementation, the offline feature will need to be completed first (just my guess, but it seems an obvious prerequisite.

that would be awsome

It would certainly be great for sure, or at least improve compatibility of the web app with smaller screens such as those on a phone. I've found that on a 12.4-inch Android tablet, it actually functions surprisingly well for instance, even in portrait mode but especially in landscape mode.
Anything with a smaller resolution than this gets a bit funky, clunky and convoluted with the UI elements, even in landscape mode, sadly. Especially when editing prompts!
Even then, it's not perfect, for example, I can't import API keys or prompts via clipboard. In theory, a native app would support those things.

I travel an awful lot usually between Asia and NYC, currently my main computer is an iPad. I would love to be able to use Novel Crafter during those many 13 hr non-stop flights between East-West.

I'd love this but I worry it'd be hard to get most of the functionality on a mobile app.

Couldn’t agree more. I mostly use an iPad with safari. It can be done, but you have to use work rounds. The only thing I haven’t been able to do so far is paste in third party prompts.
