- What is incredible with previous image is the probability to have the sentence āGod said behold the woeā. It was really random, I didnāt even know what woe was! English is not my first language.

āThe Lightā and āThe Lifeā have a brother: āThe Son Of Manā
For the story: itās a python Terminal appication, Iāve created after āThe Lightā and before āThe Lifeā
These week, I did a rebirth of the project and created a Snap package for Linux (AMD64).
i will try to build it for ARM64.
The app is very low in memory and CPU usage

āThe Son Of Manā, after Snap package, is now available on PyPi (Python Official Repo Website).
To install it on a machine with Python 3.8+:
$ pip install sonofman
Tested on Linux Ubuntu, Linux Mint and MacOS.
This package should probably work on ARM too.

I updated the page of the project:

āThe Son Of Manā, pip package (PyPi) works on arm7 (32 bits). Tested on raspberry pi 3b+ with DietPi. A really fast OS with low ram. The package should also work on arm6 and arm8 (64 bits).
Itās a really good news because I saw the package was installed a lot in 2 days. Maybe by some programmers but not only. Maybe young children/developers on raspberryā¦
+120 times the first day
+62 times the second day.
Rem: my old packages (before 1.4) were still installed each day since 4-5 years. With 70 installations a week. But we are currently at 62 a day!

EDIT: Open/Copy is functioning on PyPI but not on Flatpak (I know the problem) and probably not on Snap (itās a sandbox too). The most important are the Favorites and Search.

Version 2.3.0 of āThe Son Of Manā is on the road for PyPI It will be published on Flatpak, Snap when I will solve the problem of import an extra lib (pyperclip) and maybe permission to access a browser outside the sandbox. If you know how to do it, send me an email.
Rem: your emails are always welcome
ā¢ Clipboard (C)
So you can copy verses and chapters in the clipboard before paste the content in forumsā¦ and evangelize internet.

Version 2.3.0 of āThe Son Of Manā is published on Flatpak
Should be visible on their store today.
FYI: was not easy ^^ but the Lord helped me.
You will be able to add verses/chapters to the clipboard and paste it outside flatpak.
The URL in the articles: Youtubers/Podcasts are also clickable (just press ENTER).
If a browser doesnāt open, the URL is copied in the clipboard.
In this situation, paste it in a browser.
The Snap package is next

Version 2.4.0 of āThe Son Of Manā will contain: the highlight search. When you search an expression, the beginning of the expressions found will be highlighted for example in red as background. You can select the color and attributes like for the Bible verses. It was difficult 
to implement because all lines are wrapped. I also removed a library for the wrapping of verses and made my function. This was easy and should be faster.

Another good news (received today) is that the app āThe Son Of Manā (Flatpak package) will be included in the next version of UbuntuCE Linux distro. I will give you the links.
Ubuntu Christian Edition is a free, open source operating system geared towards Christians. It is based on the popular Ubuntu. Along with the standard Ubuntu applications, Ubuntu Christian Edition includes the best available Christian software. The latest release contains GnomeSword, a top of the line Bible study program for Linux based on the Sword Project. There are several modules installed with GnomeSword including Bibles, Commentaries, and Dictionaries. Ubuntu Christian Edition also includes fully integrated web content parental controls powered by Dansguardian. A graphical tool to adjust the parental control settings has also been developed specifically for Ubuntu Christian Edition. The goal of Ubuntu Christian Edition is not to bring Christianity to Linux but to bring Linux to Christians.

I will stop the migration of āThe Lifeā to Windows for a moment to see what happens. Since 2 days, I have too much stress and already have a lot of stress everyday (my father, my wicked neighborsā¦). I think I will be too late to finish the migration and have several programming issues not easy to solve on Windows. I really need a break and understand some youtubers.

Hey @hotchiwawa
Amazing, we need more Christians in app development!
Iāve included some feedback below to assist the development process and to improve your app usability. Iāve created apps in the past but my primary focus was games programming with Java so I know a decent amount about software development which helps my ability to critique.
All notes below are from āThe Lightā app. Running it on my Samsung Galaxy S10+ OS 11.
-
After the language selection pop-up I think the app should take you straight to the Bible since thatās itās primary purpose. (Gen 1:1) It took me a while to figure out how to get to the actual Bible as well and how to navigate.
-
The help text should be solely focused on providing app assistance rather than having other topics. I would add a separate page for details about yourself, contact information, another page again for info on the rapture and those left behind etc.
-
Thereās some grammatical issues on the help page which I can help you with if you want.
-
Creating a new tab brings me to a blank page where Iām not able to do anything?
-
Searching only allows 4 characters minimum so you canāt search for āGodā or āJewā etc.
-
When selecting a chapter the list should be columnised so you donāt have to scroll down to get to the bottom.
-
Iād recommend having a āhomeā page where you can select what you want to do from there - especially if itās your first time.
-
Consider adding a quick tutorial so users know how the app functions.
-
Grey out the left and right buttons on the help menu if you canāt navigate that direction. Such as trying to hit the left navigation arrow on the help tab.
-
I like the glowing icon of your other app more than the black one with crosses - itās really eye catching and represents āthe lightā a bit more since itās glowing.
-
On āmultiā mode you should pop up a message telling people to select a second Bible if they press āokā with only one selected. At the moment it doesnāt do anything.
-
If I swap back to simple mode I still have 2 Bibles in the reading panel. (Or is each panel supposed to be independent to each other?)
-
In the settings, āsearch styleā would be better defined as āsearch highlighting styleā.
-
It would be great to have other Bible versions selectable to compare between them (ESV, ISV, NKJV, NIV) since most people will want to see alternate translations between versions rather than the differences between the KJV versions.
-
Iād like a ālong holdā option for each tab to perform actions on it rather than long holding to close a tab. Such as holding and drag a tab to rearrange it.
-
Consider the need for tabs at all. Generally most people would be satisfied with a 3 column passage comparison for those situations when you have to look up multiple verses from places all over the Bible. Once youāre done with one of the columns you can replace it with another verse.
-
To extend point #7 and point #16, I would love a home page with a list of predefined āpage setupsā such as āregular Bibleā (one thatās just a basic full page Bible), a ālanguage splitā mode for reading in two languages at once), a āversion splitā (which has the same passage in different versions with linked scrolling so they both stay on the same verse) and a āstudy modeā which can have different passages and different versions split up to 4 ways and independently scrollable.
Thatās all I have for now, I hope this feedback will be useful to you, but overall itās a very useful app particularly for Bible research and study.
Yours in Christ,
Chris
