Hopefully this will end soon for Wikisource to some extent. There is an ongoing initiative by a few Indian Wikimedians to develop a Wikisource mobile app for Android users. Here is the announcement few days back.

Coming from the Wikisource project, which is built almost entirely by volunteers and which still doesn't have a dedicated staff structure in WMF for its development and progress, I agree with what Galder said. There are few developments by Community Tech in recent years in some aspects of the project, but it is also true that many of our bugs or feature requests are there on Phabricator for five or six or more years for now. We still use complex templates to proofread which drives new users away; Visual editor still isn't equipped enough to support proofreading easily. For book readers, the Wikisource interface is totally outdated and unattractive compared to contemporary technologies. We still couldn't build an ecosystem with other platforms to train and improve our OCR or to recognize hand-written texts and old prints for many languages. Some languages still don't have OCR support even now and depend on manual proofreading by typing page by page, imagine how that can be for a book with hundreds or thousands of pages. We still can't transcribe non-Western musical notation. The list can go on. Like other sister projects which were historically neglected, our community also tried to build from scratch and adapt and evolve as best as they could but it would be totally unfair to expect them to find free time to solve all problems themselves. Systemic and sustained support is badly needed to advance our technology and that is true.
