Hi Aaron, Thanks for copying me in. The app is not deleted, just made private, I am still working on the app and initially targeting Android and iOS.
I made it private because there is a lot to do and don't plan to release it for a while, so I wanted to avoid the possibility of people ripping it off with ads. This app is a bit different to apps like Pocket Sword as I am targeting people like my daughters, so it will hopefully be simpler and prettier, but there could be a variant that would be more sophisticated.
