Fascinating - what I'd love to see is the debate (probably in annotations) vs how verses are interpreted.
Yeah, still trying to plan out some of the UX.
Totally minor point. When you're searching something that doesn't bring up any results, it's just a blank page. It should say something like "No results found" or similar.
Thank you, missed that
It seems like the search queries against all books, it would be nice to only query the text you're on (or maybe just a checkbox). Very cool though!
Still have to work this out. There might be some benefit to actually letting users know the verse or parts of verse they are looking for is also similar to other texts. Still not sure though. But thank you for the point.
Very nice clean and simple interface! I'm not religious but this is a pretty awesome reference to link to for use in discussion online. It would be cool to be able to link parts of the text to others and even cross text (to allow for users to link similarities).
We would like to implement something like this in the future. A lot of our ideas require building a community first. It's just the two of us, so we need help from the community to improve this site as a resource.
Very cool! I had an idea some time ago to create something like hyperpolyglot.org but for philosophic / religious ideas. Any plans on doing something similar?
How about having the Bhagavad Gita in Sanskrit (and preferably for me) transliterated Sanskrit (since much of the beauty comes from how it's sung)?
Our top priority right now is to get as many of the languages available up :)
Just curious; what did you use to build this?
Ruby on Rails, Bootstrap, some python for scraping data.
