Creating an App for Optimal Bible-reading Experience

I launched an exciting venture to create a cross-platform Bible reading app, driven by a personal need and echoed by friends and acquaintances: the absence of an app that delivers a truly good and customisable reading experience accessible on all devices. This project not only addressed a gap in the market but also served as a thrilling exploration of web technologies' limits. I leveraged this opportunity to tailor experiences specifically for each platform, ensuring that users have the best possible interaction with the content.

This app turned into my playground for testing out new tech. I got to explore some emerging tools like React Server Components, Solid.js, and signals. It’s more than just an app; it’s proof of how modern web technologies can create adaptable and user-friendly tools, pushing the boundaries of what we can do with digital Bible reading.
