[PD] chronometer + metronome that syncs multiple Android/iOS devices over network?

[enrike]

I already have a test version running! nice. I used PDdroidparty and I 
get a phone and two computers running the same chronometer in sync. 
there are some issues I need to check yet but it seems this like this is 
the right direction to go. I will dump the code into github when it is 
useable.

(I am fighting now with PdDroidPublisher as we would need to have an apk 
that we can just install into participants mobiles. The PdDroidPublisher 
documentation is outdated as far as I can see and I far from being an 
expert in Android Studio configuration, lets see)
