We'll get there eventually. Path forward for a mobile app will probably be opening up the API -> creating a significant bounty for some mobile savvy dev to create it should they want to.
Short term measure, as suggest by @nout, is to turn SN into a progressive web app and significantly overhaul the UI for mobile.

And there's a somewhat easy way to wrap progressive web app into Android App and put it on Play Store... so that would cover that :)
Just to reference here - I did a lo-fi mock for how could the mobile app look here: #19801 (with focus on mobile usability - i.e. making things reachable by thumb, etc)

Big brain move – i like.

Do plan to charge to access the API?, Would be interesting to charge a fee so you could get some sats and push for more features.

It kind of depends on the type of access. I think programatic posting/commenting might either be disallowed or be quite expensive.
Otherwise, I'd like to keep read access quite cheap and easy.

Open up that API and release the shadowy coders!
