ESV on iPhone, Mac OS X Dashboard, and Adobe AIR
October 6This morning’s experiment with Adobe AIR really got out of hand. I’ve created tools to access the English Standard Version of the Bible via your iPhone, a Mac OS X Dashboard widget, and an Adobe AIR app for Mac + PC (the original project). Pheew!

Grab it here (and Adobe AIR if you don’t have it).

Digging the AIR app. Nice work so far. A couple of things… The browser chrome probably should either be resizable or a fixed width… It can currently be maximized, but the app area doesn’t grow with it.
Also, might want to consider dropping in the Daily Verse, Daily Devotional or something initially… Unless your intention is solely to have it as a search app.
Nice work.

Hey Chris, thanks for the suggestion - I definitely agree. I hope to make all ofthese changes within the next week or so and have some more in mind down the road.
Cheers!

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the ESV widget. I downloaded and works great.
Hey, I’m looking for someone who can program a Bible app for Facebook.
Do you do that?
