The browser has a mapping between physical screen resolution and actual browser viewport pixels. They are not the same!

Therefore, this actually works (based on browser viewport size).

There are various mapping tables / device catalogues that you can find online.

Considering that many phones have more than FHD resolution but still are tiny screened is this really the most useful distinction?

Hi Troy,
Many web apps optimize for different screen sizes and have several configurations in the CSS. Something you would consider "responsive web design".
Based on filters like this in the CSS (example from Ezra Bible App):

Phone
@media screen and (max-width: 450px), (max-height: 450px) {

Tablet / Large phone
@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {

And then aside from this the standard CSS remains the one for desktop / large screen.
Best regards,
Tobias

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

Hi Don! I don't know if anyone is running the site other than CrossWire. We've helped a few people setup the software over the years but not sure if they continue to run it.

We've made an OCI container of the software to make it scalable and to more easily spin up an image:

https://hub.docker.com/r/crosswire/swordweb

Not sure who might be pulling that as a base or a spinning up an instance.

It's great to hear from you! I've often reused your html and style in other html UI apps which present SWORD functionality. If you install Bishop, it should look a bit familiar. 😀

Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-sword-project/id1399921911

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.crosswire.bishop

We'd love to have you contribute to an improved user experience in our new world of diverse screen sizes, if you can find the time between pastoring.

Hope you've been well!

Troy

Its been a long time since we designed that. I have been thinking about jumping back into the project and helping update it to be mobile friendly, if there is any interest.
