To help understand Dogelog, we made a little Q&A.
Here are the results:

Q: What does it mean that Dogelog was produced
by a cross compiler?
A: Dogelog is not enteirely written in JavaScript,
a great part was written in Prolog and then cross
compiled into JavaScript.

Q: Can Dogelog be run without Android?
A: Yes, since the result after cross compilation
was entirely JavaScript, you can run it everywhere
where you find JavaScript, no Android required.

Q: Can Dogelog be run without internet connection?
A: Yes, the compilation has only generated client
code, there is no server code, so once the JavaScript
is loaded, you can run it without a connection.

Q: Can Dogelog be run without a Browser?
A: Yes, its also possible to run Dogelog from within
node.js for example, which is headless.

Q; Can Dogelog be run from within a smartphone?
A: Yes, if you find a capable JavaScript environment
you can also run it on a small device as a smartphone.

Q: Can a smartphone use be demonstrated?
A: Yes we have updated the link http://www.dogelog.ch/ so
that it does automatic zooming, by adding these lines:

     <style>
         body {
             font-family: verdana, sans-serif;
             font-size: 2vw;
             line-height: 1.4em
         }
     </style>

Here is a screenshot, even an offline use, where the
internet connection was cut off after Dogelog was loaded:

Q: Can a tablet use be demonstrated?
A: Yes the same link http://www.dogelog.ch/ also works
for tablets. Strangely the same Chrome browser has better
rendering on a Huawei tablet than on Smasung smartphone.
But this is an issue of HTML/CSS and not of Dogelog:

Q; For further questions about Dogelog, where should I go?
A: Documentation about Dogelog will soon be out, tickets
with bug reports or feature requests can be opened on GitHub at:
