Should i use mobile as a node?

Not sure how technical you are trying to get, if you are developing a custom solution, you can likely disregard this suggestion.

If you just want to experiment with the functionality of IPFS on mobile, I’m currently beta testing an app (IPFS Lite) created by @remmerw that seeks to emulate the ipfs-desktop experience on Android.

So far, it seems to be considerably effective at doing so. IPFS Lite is, to my knowledge, the only “purist” mobile app of its kind.

Here is the developer’s own post detailing the app’s release last year.
