I like the idea of a correlation between chapters of the books and size of square
This would rock for a chronological bible

I have just found your website. Found this site interesting. I used to use e-sword (but tend to just use internet searches now) which I like but did not like that the chapters were subdivisions of the books: open several books and the column is too long. I suspected that a chapter column should be separate with number of chapters altering automatically.

Your scheme may be a good path to pursue. I think that the length of the line needs to correspond to the number of chapters, and line widths should all be the same. Psalms are still difficult to navigate. It would mainly be used for lookup so other things like genre grouping are less important.

Then one could have title subdivisions as you do which you could mouse over to select a smaller passage than a chapter, or possibly have the text appear adjacent to that or in a separate text box.

Good work, enjoyed other blog entries too.

Very nice! Power of Ajax, married with a “where in the Bible did I read that.” Good companion to search tools like biblegateway.com

Wow, that rocks! I like how the chapter summaries show up on mouse over. That helps greatly when you can’t quite remember what chapter something happened/was said in.

Very good work.
