Thanks, Jaap, good to know. I've done mockups in the past, so I'll try to find some time to design a first draft.
I don't know if I had the right to do it, but I created a specific page on the Wiki: https://github.com/jaap-karssenberg/zim-wiki/wiki/Android-app-design-and-development The first step would be to collect the features that would go into the Android app, so that I can create the mockup around them. That's why I suppose that the app won't do _all_ the things that the Desktop app does, but I might be wrong.
