Anyway the app looks pretty good to me, I like the parallel interface. Since a redesign is planned I would request the ability to show a commentary in parallel with the Bible with verse syncing. I also like titles to the sections when they are available although the majority of Bible versions not encumbered with copyright do not have them.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">My thanks to you and your team for all of the work you place into Crosswire!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">At any moment, you have a choice, that leads you closer to God or further from God.</span><br></div><div><br></div><div>"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.<br>
<br>
You also probably know that I suck at HTML, CSS (I am mostly OK with<br>
JavaScript), and at aesthetics, in general. You can see the screenshots<br>
here:<br>

<br>
The app is pretty functional. It support parallel views of up to 3<br>
Bibles at a time. I has a vertical split view for original language<br>
assistance. It supports Bibles, Commentaries, and Lexicon /<br>
Dictionaries. It is still lacking support for Daily Devotionals and<br>
General Books. It also uniquely has ancient New Testament manuscript<br>
resources and collation integrated.<br>
<br>
This weekend, I began to internationalize the application (see following<br>
email), pulling all text strings out into a localized file. While doing<br>
this work, I realized how bad the UI actually looks and started to swap<br>
out the side menu tray... and then realized, why am I doing this? We<br>
have engineers who have subscribed to this list who want to help things<br>
like this, and who don't suck at HTML and CSS.<br>
<br>
So, have a look at the screenshots at the link above. They show most of<br>
the functionality. Download the app and play with it. It should work<br>
generally the same on both Android and iOS. Be sure to let the app<br>
download the initial module set it wants to download upon first run. If<br>
you have any exciting ideas how to better present the functionality you<br>
see in the app, please feel free to take a shot at it.<br>
