[SailfishDevel] is there any existing webapp framework?

[dep]

Good question. The ProtonMail Bridge is middleware, handling encryption and decryption. The user merely tells the client to use IMAP and particular nonstandard ports. So it ought to work with most anything. Except that there are only x86 and Mac versions. I think that the Linux version, if compiled for arm7, would work with SFOS, but there isn't one of those, so we're left with variations on webmail.

Hence my hope of cooking up an app, webmail with notifications. The Android app sort of works -- I'm using it to write this -- but despite the usual hacks and kludges notifications don't work. And things like attachments, both ways, are kind of flaky. And I need to have a whole Android support system, just for ProtonMail, which kinda sucks.

ProtonMail+Sailfish X+Sony Xperia X
