Nikita is only a web-api and as such has no userinterface. There is a web interface that receives attention sporadically when I need to use it in teaching:</div>

Your question is more relevant to this project. Here, the answer is no. I hardly have time to keep this project updated as it is, and I have no resources available for webbased gui development.</div>

I am happy that nikita api and gui got seperated as the gui kept generating so much CVE reports that people could misinterpret as being a problem with nikita.</div>

Do you plan to optimize the web interface of Nikita for touch screens?<br>
