I could look into turning Ezra Project into a Chrome App. The frontend
is already HTML/CSS + JavaScript which is the technology powering Chrome
Apps. And it's already made for desktop use.
As far as I can see from a short evaluation the pre-conditions would be
these two things:
1) Interaction with Sword Library. This would require creating another
wrapper library like node-sword-interface, this time based on "Native
Client <https://developer.chrome.com/native-client>" (a sandbox for
running compiled C/C++ in the Chrome browser). I could probably do this
while sharing lots of the node-sword-interface code, to keep the
interface compatibility with Ezra Project.
2) I would need to bundle all npmjs-based dependencies into one JS file,
because Chrome Apps do not work with npmjs dependencies easily
<https://stackoverflow.com/a/43684769>.
Both is possible and doesn't sound too hard. And it could probably be
done while sharing most of the frontend code with Ezra Project. I'll
look into this when I find some time.
Best regards,
Tobias

We just received a 1 star review for Bishop from a Chromebook user.
I didn't know Chromebook users could run Android applications
officially. I had heard it was experimental at one point but didn't
know it ever reached production.
Bishop (and I am guessing a ton of other Android apps) aren't geared
toward devices with keyboards (e.g., we have a grid book and chapter
selector for easy Bible navigation from a small touch screen; that's not
how I would want to navigate if I had a keyboard).
Do we have any apps specifically targeting Chromebooks? Do they run
Linux apps?
May everyone stay COVID-19-free,
