mobile gnucash?

[John Gray]

I don't think it would particularly difficult to develop it.

If I get some free time in the next few months, I'll try to take a crack
at it.  Probably on an adroid phone.  And I might look at creating the
account list exporter this weekend.  I'll just need to bone up on the
APIs for that.
