Access to quests in the api would be interesting, as trying to solve the quests on a smartphone would be a fun game.  I assume the chance is low though...

Well, you'd need some user authentication (OAuth for example). User would log in and get their quest progress data.  The app would allow the user to search GB (already works) and on any page loads would perhaps pass around a token so that page views are attributed to the right user, and quests would get accomplished like that.
 
Probably more work than it's worth, just a random thought.  Obviously some privacy concerns once you have user authentication.

So user stuff and login stuff. I have no idea how long it will take to see that kind of stuff, if ever. :(
