[sword-devel] SWORD + Cordova

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Dear Matěj,

Yes, you are correct.  This requires a binary libsword, which I have 
built for Android.  I am hoping someone will build for iOS, Windows 
Mobile, and even desktop OSes.  This would theoretically let us run the 
same frontend on all platforms, built entirely in JavaScript; however, 
we probably would want to build separate frontends to look and feel 
appropriate.  This still has many advantages, including, sharing tons of 
code, hopefully.

Though there hasn't been much interest.  Has anyone been able to 
successfully run and use the Android app at:

http://crosswire.org/~scribe/bishop3.apk

Any feedback on the verse study tools or parallel display?  It doesn't 
take advantage of the new mapping code Костя contributed yet, but I'd 
like to implement that soon.

Troy
