I just realized, you can absolutely run Hermes on a phone.
The privacy aspect is pretty awful perhaps (though you could use a more privacy preserving provider, like Maple or PPQ), but you can totally do things like ask it to monitor for gps location and then pull up information for the area you're in based on what you want updates on.
That could be interesting, and having the harness on the phone itself is a lot more efficient than trying to pipe that data back to a remotely running desktop, raspi, or whatever.
Looks like there could be interesting ways of linking the copy locally to the copy at home.
Anyone else put the harness on the phone itself? I usually see people talking in telegram, signal, or Whitenoise, but haven't run across anyone playing with the harness right on the phone. If so, anything cool of note? If not, is it way more dangerous than i'm giving credit? Thoughts?
