[sword-devel] SWORDWeb

[Troy A. Griffitts]

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:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

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
