Yes, but just because others are doing something doesn't always mean
LMMS has to. We don't have to chase all the latest trends. We should
evaluate what is the best course of action for LMMS, especially
considering limited developer resources.

Yes, but is that the only use case for it? That seems like a lot of work
for a pretty marginal case. Also there are problems: Mobile devices do
not have as much computing power as desktop computers, and won't for
quite some time - so you'd be quite limited in what you could do on a
mobile LMMS, you couldn't eg. have as many tracks, as many
instruments/effects - so as soon as the project on your home computer
grows big enough to not work on mobile, you can no longer work on it on
the mobile...

I kind of think it'd be better for there to be a separate project for a
open source mobile DAW, one that's designed from the ground up to run on
mobile devices and optimized for them, while LMMS would concentrate on
being as good on the desktop as possible. There could still be some
synchronization options between them, like importing projects from one
to the other.
