Hey Wojciech,

Thanks for the questions.
I've left some comments inline below.

We're leverage OpenShift UI extensions to do a few things:
- adding the Mobile category for the Service Catalog
- adding the 'Mobile' left nav item
- allowing custom javascript, css & html to be loaded from a location
configured on the openshift master

By having custom javascript, we can add or even override AngularJS routes,
templates etc...
However, that's a lot of power, and could lead to incompatibilities with
future OpenShift versions

More info on this approach here
https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.6/install_config/web_console_customization.html
and here
https://github.com/feedhenry/mobile-control-panel/blob/master/ui/public/mcp.js

Yeah, I think its a little early for the idea of a Mobile App being
represented in Openshift to make sense.
I think an RHMAP connection tag is a reasonable comparison, particularly if
we went with a 'phone home on startup' approach to dynamically configure
the App.
Something to work out i think.

Always! Its open season I say :)
Check out the 'good first contributions' tag on github issues if you like.
Or if you just want to play around and find some bugs & fix em, Super!

Do you mean link to the video from the repo, or do something else?
I've no problem with linking to the video.
The code being used for the client, server & sample app are all on github
already.
