Considering that many phones have more than FHD resolution but still are tiny screened is this really the most useful distinction?

Hi Troy,

Many web apps optimize for different screen sizes and have
several configurations in the CSS. Something you would consider
"responsive web design".

Based on filters like this in the CSS (example from Ezra Bible
App):

Phone

@media screen and (max-width: 450px), (max-height: 450px) {

Tablet / Large phone

@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {

And then aside from this the standard CSS remains the one for
desktop / large screen.

Best regards,

Tobias

Hi Don,

This morning I sent Psalm 139 to remind a friend that God who
created a 1000 galaxies formed her and wrote each of her days...
and then I realized that she will likely click on the link from
her phone and then I thought of you. 🙂 Any more thoughts on a
more mobile-friendly UI?

A few years ago, to the main https://crosswire.org website, I
added per recommendation:

and it really helped quite a bit. Maybe I'll try that with
SWORDWeb this afternoon and see if it makes things better or
worse.

I use SWORDWeb from my phone regularly, and what I like is that if
I double-tap the center Bible text column, chrome zooms in exactly
on that column so it's pretty usable with that trick.

Anyway, by the time you read this, I may have done some
experimenting with the header tag, above. Let me know if you have
ideas for an interface which adapts better to screen size.

Thanks again for all your work,

Troy

promises, but I will check it out.

Hi Don! I don't know if anyone is running the site other
than CrossWire. We've helped a few people setup the software
over the years but not sure if they continue to run it.

We've made an OCI container of the software to make it
scalable and to more easily spin up an image:

https://hub.docker.com/r/crosswire/swordweb

Not sure who might be pulling that as a base or a spinning
up an instance.

It's great to hear from you! I've often reused your html and
style in other html UI apps which present SWORD
functionality. If you install Bishop, it should look a bit
familiar. 😀

Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-sword-project/id1399921911

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.crosswire.bishop

We'd love to have you contribute to an improved user
experience in our new world of diverse screen sizes, if you
can find the time between pastoring.

Hope you've been well!

Is anyone running SWORDWeb in the wild, other than
https://www.crosswire.org/study/

Just wondering. Its been a long time since we designed that. I have been
thinking about jumping back into the project and helping update it to be
mobile friendly, if there is any interest.
