Since mobile-devel hasn't been active for a while, I thought it best to
forward Alex' email here for comments.

Hello,

I'd like to propose the following features for Bishop:

1. Night mode.

2. Verse peek mode. The idea is to allow fullscreen viewing of your
favorite translation with the ability to "slide" a verse right or left
to see the same verse as it is translated by your next favorite
one(s). Basically, this is so one does not have to have more than one
translation shown at all times when secondary translations are only
used to gain clarity of text. Showing other texts in the "peek" view
such as related notes or commentary should also work.

3. Continuous scrolling rather than clicking for the next or previous chapter.

4. General UI improvements. A) On my Pixel 2 XL, I have trouble
clicking on some of the buttons because of their size. B) The search
feature could show the results along with previews of the matching
text in a full-width view rather than inside of the general menu. The
back button should go back to the last text location rather than
minimize the app.

5. Share a verse or a range of verses having the citation automatically added.

I have written native Android and iOS apps in the past, but I have no
experience with Cordova, so maybe some of these features are not
practical. What do you all think of these ideas, and is their
implementation possible using Cordova?

Thanks,
Alex
