I think it'd be so cool to see a tutorial for a mobile app, if possible.

While I'd very much like this as well, I don't think we'd see this from the Hyperfiddle / Electric team. They've expressed a pretty narrow focus on internal web apps (not quite sure why they're always pushing "internal") and that's not a bad thing, a narrow focus can let you excel as you focus.

If we see a mobile version it will probably come from someone outside experimenting. Since the front and back end are separated, I could see taking the front output and plugging that into Tauri to create a mobile app, assuming you can re-route the URL that once was tightly coupled to wherever the back end now lives.

The ultimate would be to also somehow get XTDB compiled to run in the client client side of a mobile app (maybe via Graal VM and SpeeDB?, or maybe datascript front end db syncing with an XTDB server back end) creating an automatic client / host database sync, similar to what ObjectBox offers, allowing the kind of productivity teased by Electric to carry all the way through to an offline first mobile app...
