Hi Jeff,
I have recently discovered this:
https://github.com/parabible/parabible-client
https://parabible.com/
Maybe you should contact the author ... seems similar to what you have
been describing and showing ... also webserver / webclient based
architecture.
Regarding a functioning SWORD build for Windows (DLLs built with latest
MSVS compilers ...) - have a look here:
https://github.com/ezra-bible-app/sword-build-win32
A general thought regarding web-based frontends ...
There are now web components since a few years - a standard that enables
easier re-use of web-based components across applications.
Have a look here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Web_Components
I have been starting to use web components in Ezra Bible App ... and if
you also work on certain frontend components maybe there is a
possibility for sharing things!
Best regards,
Tobias

Thank you for the feedback (not included here).
I think I’ve figured out what I’d like to do:
-Stay with Web delivery of this content

(see details below)
-Implement the Crosswire / SWORD Project content (adhering to all
applicable licensing)
oIncluding multilingual content and flexibility (English only seems
short-sighted)
-Continue developing in ASP.Net / IIS / Visual Studio / CLR
oEven after considering all of the suggestions and reviewing available
applications (partly because it’s my wheelhouse)
-Develop reusable code for the MS platform and make it available for
download
oI’d like to see a wrapper that parallels the existing Crosswire /
SWORD Project code base so that developers can easily implement it in
VS20xx
oPossibly a dll that runs under MS Common Language Runtime (CLR) so
that it’s readily available for C#, VB, C++, etc. developers (I’m not
sure if just making source code available is enough)
-Find or develop a database of English (or any available language)
words derived from Biblical Greek words
oDoes anyone know anything about ‘English derivatives from the Greek
New Testament’ by Charles Van der Pool?
So, if that’s acceptable, I could use some help getting started:
-Advice from others who have developed in Visual Studio (the latest
code that I was able to find was for VS 2013)
-A document or Wiki that would get content available in Windows 10,
Windows Server 2019, etc.
-Instructions on how to make this compliant with Crosswire / SWORD
Project standards including licensing of content
Thanks again for any help you can provide.

*Subject:* [sword-devel] Greek/Hebrew Reader screenshots
Here are some screenshots of the Greek/Hebrew Reader that I’ve been
describing.
Some points of interest:
-‘guid=’ in URL just indicates the user id used as a record key for
preferences and bookmarks on the server;
-Navigation buttons shift to left for Hebrew to be out of the way as
much as possible;
-Bookmark is stored when a verse reference number is clicked/touched;
-Shaded bookmark (paperclip) button: shaded at top means that server
has outdated info, bottom means bookmarks need to be downloaded;
-Font enlarge and shrink buttons (per device basis);
-Arrow buttons: up/down to top/bottom; center button scrolls to
current bookmark; left goes to previous chapter/book; right to next
chapter/book;
-Banner at top displays relevant information and links (I’d like to
make this customizable for readers of varying skill levels);
-Options panel displays when bookmark (paperclip) is clicked;
-‘Select / Go To Bookmark’ displays select of stored bookmarks (per
user based on guid, see additional screenshot);
-Books are marked as ‘Done’ when on the last chapter of the book and
the ‘Next Chapter/Book’ button is selected;
-Reading plan is selected through select prompt;
-Red text on Upload / Download buttons shows that client or server has
later information (also displayed in shading of paperclip nav button);
-‘Move verse to top on Click’ scrolls bookmarked verse to top of
window when verse number is clicked;
-‘Store v1 on Next Chapter Click’ automatically updates current
bookmark to next chapter/book when Next button is clicked;
-Current bookmark is displayed;
-Previous / Next are chapters in reading plan (not that ‘Next’ shows
Matthew 1 after Mark 16 based on Daniel Wallace’s reading plan;
-Cookies are for debugging purposes;
-Text is currently just a cleaned up version of the BibleHub
Interlinear page;
The BibleHub page content is the main problem that I’d like to change
next and, as such, is the main reason for all of this communication.
I’d like to replace it with licensed content that is easier to control
and display.
I hope that explains things better.
Jeff
