Bangle.js software on phones -- Pocket Bangle

[pavelmachek]

I'd really like to run Bangle.js applications on a phone. I can already do that on Linux phones, but I would like that fuctionality on Android, too. I'm aware that IDE already has an emulator, but I'd like this for "real" applications -- including sensors and GPS integration, and avoiding web browser (if possible).

Is someone interested in similar project? Or maybe there's existing project I could use (or start from)?

My concern with this is really in keeping it up to date. I think someone did try something in the past based on building their own emulator from Espruino source, but that was years ago I don't think it was ever updated.

and avoiding web browser (if possible).

What's your reason for this? The easiest (if you need a native app) would be to just have a WebView in the app that used the Emscripten-based build that I keep up to date for the IDE and App Loader. For instance the app loader can include it with https://github.com/espruino/BangleApps/blob/master/emulator.js

including sensors and GPS integration

Yes, this would be nice. It's not too hard to add really, it's just I haven't had any time for it.

If someone wanted to add support for more sensors to the existing emulator then that'd be really cool though.
