[sword-devel] Any modern web ui available?

[DM Smith]

Not quite native. Like BibleDesktop, it doesn't quite look like a Mac application. Much of the look and feel problems that BD has so does BT.

I'm glad I have a fast mac. For whatever reason, it is slower than I would have expected for a C++ application.

Criticism aside, it seems quite stable and it does the job.

I think Joachim knows of BT on Mac. :) If any of you on the BT team can help Xiphos get on the Mac, that'd be great! (We're all in this together!)

I could provide some detailed criticism if it'd be helpful. Much of it would be based upon the log in my own eye as a BD dev.

In His Service,
	DM
