So, you probably all know we have an Android and iOS SWORD app which is built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
You also probably know that I suck at HTML, CSS (I am mostly OK with JavaScript), and at aesthetics, in general. You can see the screenshots here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.crosswire.bishop The app is pretty functional. It support parallel views of up to 3 Bibles at a time. I has a vertical split view for original language assistance. It supports Bibles, Commentaries, and Lexicon / Dictionaries. It is still lacking support for Daily Devotionals and General Books. It also uniquely has ancient New Testament manuscript resources and collation integrated. This weekend, I began to internationalize the application (see following email), pulling all text strings out into a localized file. While doing this work, I realized how bad the UI actually looks and started to swap out the side menu tray... and then realized, why am I doing this? We have engineers who have subscribed to this list who want to help things like this, and who don't suck at HTML and CSS. So, have a look at the screenshots at the link above. They show most of the functionality. Download the app and play with it. It should work generally the same on both Android and iOS. Be sure to let the app download the initial module set it wants to download upon first run. If you have any exciting ideas how to better present the functionality you see in the app, please feel free to take a shot at it.
