Good idea regarding the pressure-sensitive touch reaction :)
When doing a quick search I found this JavaScript library:
https://pressurejs.com
I quickly tested it on my Android tablet and it seems to work well!
Maybe I'll make use of this in the future.

Tobias, (all)
I don't do mobile development, so if this is beyond the realm of easy
implementation... ignore it.
The limitation of android apps in this area has always been lack of
pointer... which turns into mistaps (mostly caused by fingers 3x th
size of the target). I'd like to see pressure sensitive touch which
would work like the 'hover' functionality in Bibletime... a light
touch would pop out a box with essential part of the definition, and a
more firm touch then opens the full definition either in the main
window or a sidebar like area. It's not exactly like the hover in BT,
but touch sensitivity enabled provides a pretty close functionality.
Again, I know most androids now have pressure sensitivity built in...
but I don't know if it's easily accessible as just a tap.

Hi Jeff,
I am still planning to develop that interlinear functionality that
I wrote about in February, I have not started yet ... but will soon.
The interlinear visualization used by BibleHub is actually nice! I
could imagine to do something similar in Ezra Bible App.
I am currently not targeting mobile use with Ezra, but certainly
tablets (Windows and Android) and the user interface is also
touch-based. In the future we may see an iPad version as well.
You already find a strongs dictionary functionality in Ezra,
similar to what other frontends are doing, with the typical
mouse-over strongs-word / dictionary update. But that only works
on the desktop due to the mouseover limitation.
Focussing more on being touch-friendly is one of my goals for new
functionality in Ezra. In fact, for me personally my Android
tablet has become the primary device for this software ... at
least for casual study.
I'd also be curious to see screenshots of your work!
I'll be keeping you posted whenever I have something ready to try.
I am personally not a Greek/Hebrew expert, but nevertheless I
enjoy some tool-based original language study. I'd be happy about
getting feedback from users like you in the future!
Blessings,
Tobias

Tobias (et al),
I’ve been developing and using (for my own personal edification)
a Greek/Hebrew reader that responds to touch/click with English
translation, Strong’s numbers (with links) and a parsing code
(gender, number, case, person, etc.)
I’ve decided to either find something that meets my growing needs
or make it. But to do so requires data. The current version is
based upon a reformatting of a free interlinear using C#,
JavaScript, HTML5 and T-SQL (MSSQL).
If you’re working on one I’d like to discuss joining our efforts
if our goals are compatible. Otherwise, I’m looking at the
possibility of using the resources available through the SWORD
project as a basis for my efforts.
My goals are (in no particular order):
-An easy to use phone, tablet and desktop app (already in current
version)
-Touch/click responses by displaying various information
(lexicography, parsing) (already in current version)
-Ability to select various reading plans such as canonical order,
Daniel Wallace’s One Year reading plan, chronological based on
writing (already in current version)
-Stored bookmarks (client and server storage shared across
individual user’s computers) (already in current version)
-Derived words in common language such as transliterations as a
memory reinforcement tactic (eg. ‘geo’ – ‘graphy’);
-Ability to substitute other languages for English translations /
transliterations;
I can’t post a link here because I haven’t received permission or
reuse the source material (BibleHub’s Greek-English and
Hebrew-English Interlinear). I am currently the only person
using it. I’ve done so to avoid any ethical or legal
infringement on the source material.
If you or anyone else reading this are interested in working
together I’d be happy to share my relevant code and experience.

*Subject:* [sword-devel] English transliteration of Greek or
Hebrew words
Hi,
I am planning an *interlinear view component* for Ezra Project
and as part of that I would like to show English transliterations
of Greek or Hebrew words.
I found these JavaScript/TypeScript based packages, which could
be useful:
https://github.com/charlesLoder/greek-transliteration
<https://github.com/charlesLoder/greek-transliteration>
https://github.com/charlesLoder/hebrew-transliteration
<https://github.com/charlesLoder/hebrew-transliteration>
Do you know of any other solutions out there?
Best regards,
Tobias
