I agree with @ronso0.

Remote app is a neat idea, but a secondary app is a lot more work, and allows more room for error/issues with integrating the two together. By using the same Mixxx app, but in a smaller skin, Mixxx is still fully functional. The mini-Mode is limited mainly to keep it simple looking, easy to navigate, and separate from the full view mode of Mixxx.

No need to recreate or build something that causes more work. Using what we already have is much more efficient to time, and less bugs to deal with since it'd be a matter of making sure the GUI.

It wouldn't need any bells and whistles, because if someone really wanted those extra features, they could open the full view mode of Mixxx and have all the features to do so. It'd be great to see an easy transition going from mini-Mode to Full view mode, while the music is playing. For example:

Someone was casually listening to music in the background. They happen to like the song they're listening to. While the song is playing, they can switch to full view Mixxx mode, and the track is still playing. The listener can now start DJing from where the music timestamp is.
