So Qt can help there. Not by using the same app as the Desktop Client, but by creating a simplified version that uses QML.

With all due respect - we don’t have the manpower to do everything we want to do on the desktop app.
Instead of spending massive amounts of work on three new apps (what about a Tizen app, what about Firefox OS, what about Sailfish?) we should figure out how much it will take to make the current UI “mostly” useful.
Playing with Anton’s build has been on my todo list since, I don’t know, forever.
I keep wasting my time fixing bugs, making releases, creating builds for our users, helping new features along…
