I'm bullish on native apps for this, which is part of why I'm not so
sold on the various editing/submission proposals. It really shouldn't be
that hard to wrap some existing tools like rsync+ssh behind a cute
native UI and provide a nice mobile editing experience.

Of course, I'm a known pervert, so I use Emacs in Termux on an Android
phone to update my gemlog, some of the time.
