I am afraid that such a thing would just be a weak knee'd browser in and of itself.  SMF software is just a bunch of PHP scripts and a database backend, that poop out HTML formatted data for presentation by the browser.

Websites with dedicated apps utilize a binary interface to the database backend, or some similar trick to avoid having to render the page/threads as HTML and using a browser engine.

I SERIOUSLY doubt that toady is going to open up such a can of worms.
