Hi Cyrille,
I understand where you're coming from in terms of user needs.
Merging is something that would technically not be that easy due to
different technologies ... it would rather mean re-developing features,
or re-developing the app entirely.
And that is a lot of work, that one would first needs to commit to do
(the author ... and potentially their family!!).
A pre-requisite would be alignment about goals / objectives / purpose. I
believe we currently address slightly different goals / objectives /
purpose with the existing set of apps.
Maybe, one day, there will be a "window of opportunity" that enables
such a joint development.
The thing with open source is, that not everyone spends the same amount
of time on it during the same time period.
One person may have more time now, another person more time two years
from now ...
Also, people often stick to the technology they are used to from their
professional life because then they do not have to repeat the learning
curve from scratch.
What I can tell you is that right now I wouldn't have the time for
re-developing an app or re-starting a learning curve on different
technology.
I did have the time a few years ago when I started Ezra Bible App as an
Electron app. And I'm ok to keep maintaining it. But re-developing is
another story in terms of time and effort needed for that.
Best regards,
Tobias

lHello Friends,
I may be saying something heresy, but I'll try anyway. To begin with,
I'd like to thank Troy and Tuomas for their beautiful apps, as well as
Tobias, for all their hard work.
Personally, I use Bishop and Andbible, but I intend to test Esra as well.
That's what I'm thinking about. It's a lot of work to code, and there
aren't many of you. Wouldn't it be useful to merge the projects?
Here's my case in point. I use Anbible for almost everything, except
for what bishop offers that Andbible doesn't have:
* Daily devotional
* the parallel passage of the Gospels with the modules of Eusebius
of Caesarea, a really good tool.
* And even if I don't use it, but access to the original
manuscripts is a great tool too.
So there are three things I think Andbible lacks to be perfect, which
I've just described.
So would it be possible, rather than creating a new program, to simply
(it may not be simple at all, pardon me for being a philistine)
integrate these strengths of bishop into Andbible, and thus have an
ultra-complete app?
Just a question/suggestion...

As you are at it… I never reported it but Bishop crashes reliably
during all word searches on iPhones. At least on mine. Both Bishop
and the Capuchinhos version.

Hi Michael. I've not had any reports of that nor seen it. Could you
give me more info. I can pull up an emulator to match your setup and
try to reproduce.

The biggest thing I would like is more stability.
Last time I used Bishop on my Android phone, it crashed every
time I tried to tap the pull-down list to add a second in the
parallel list.
