The Whalesong project allows you to generate web apps for a small
section of the Racket language. These apps can be deployed on Android
and iOS, as they follow the offline html5 webapp APIs.
Here's documentation for Whalesong:

Unfortunately, it's a bit starved for developer attention. I
currently only have a few cycles to maintain it, as there are
higher-priority items on my TODO. Another factor: I just received
and accepted a job offer at a company in the Bay Area, which means I
will not have dedicated time to expand on Whalesong for the
foreseeable future.
