Hello all!
<div>
<div>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">First of all, thank
you so much for your work building the JSword backend. Having
something like this that is open-source is a huge win for
developers and people all over the world.</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">That said, the past
couple of months I’ve been working on a new Bible app. I
wasn’t satisfied with the experience using any of the software
available for Android, and so designed an app myself. It’s
certainly not feature-complete, but I wanted to at least let
you know it was in existence, and see if there would be any
interest in helping with its development.</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">The app is called
MinimalBible (very creative, I know), and is being developed
on Github over <a href="https://github.com/MinimalBible/MinimalBible" target="_blank">here</a>.
Additionally, I’ve been keeping a blog of my development
experience <a href="http://minimalbible.github.io/" target="_blank">here</a> as well. It’s
not publicly available on the Play store yet, but I do have
alpha testing in progress through the Play store with a few
friends.</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">MinimalBible is
designed to be focused on an experience as close to reading an
actual Bible as possible. I don’t plan to use reading plans,
videos, sharing features, but want an app that starts quickly
and helps me focus on the actual content. Additionally, the
app has been designed to be Material-compliant for Android
5.0, uses the latest SDK, but supports all the way back to SDK
v8. Development is done using the new Android studio, and I
have a toolchain set up for automated builds and code
coverage.</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">Again, thank you for
all your work building the JSword foundation so developers
like me can re-use the work. It’s greatly appreciated. Would
you guys also be willing to help answer some questions on
JSword? I'm having issues with searching right now.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">Have a great day!</p><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
