Thanks Sam! Any chance of a Hebrew OT version on the horizon?
I’ve got a basic one in the works, but it’s a lot trickier.
BDB is the obvious lexicon, but the copyright situation is less clear. It’s also a lot harder to pair up the data.
So yes, but it could be a while!
OK. I’ll just have to wait
In the meantime, I gave this one a whirl this morning, and I enjoyed using it. It looks great, and it’s very schmick. Congrats
I have some feedback, if you are up for suggestions:
1) Any chance of a nicer Greek font?
2) Is there any rhyme or reason to why it loads a particular set of verses? (I understand that entries for each verse are dynamically generated.) But is it too difficult just to have a continual scroll so that I don’t have to click the up and down arrows as I work through a large chunk of text? Perhaps as I scroll towards the bottom of what has been generated the program could be working in the background to generate entries for upcoming verses and allow me to keep scrolling?
3) It would be really nice if, as I work through a particular passage and come across a word that I really should know (because it occurs over 30 times or something) but don’t, that there was a way to look it up? Perhaps I could click on the verse number and it would show me all the words for that particular verse, even if they occur more than the threshold number of times?
Anyway, its a good app. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback.
1) Yep, but not until OS 3.2 finds its way to the iPhone. Until then it’s just way too hard to do non-standard fonts (unless you know a good method?). You have to render each glyph independently, and… ugh.
2) It loads 5 verses at a time, with the one you searched for at either the top or bottom of the list (the latter occurring if you move up). The initial screen opens up to the verse you last looked at. Yep, I like the idea of the continual scroll, and want to do it in an upcoming version… but I haven’t figured out how yet. But it’s on the todo list.
3) Nice idea. Hadn’t thought of that one.
You should update the “software” page as well.
Will you be putting Paradigmatic up for sale at any point in the future?
Actually, I see it is free of charge. Will you be opening the source code up for it? I’d be interested in seeing it.
Toby,
Paradigmatic is a mac app, and yes it’s free. I want to make an iPhone version at some point, but that’s down the track.
Re the source code: we’ve had this conversation before. It relies very heavily on Mac-specific technologies. There’s no point releasing the source for any other platform, since it simply won’t be of any use without those technologies.
