I use HEY for all my personal email now too. I definitely believe it's a step in the right direction.


Very cool. Somehow I've never seen Catena before.


Hey, Catena developer here :) great work with Spark, we should connect! God bless


There is a basic web version if you visit https://sparkbible.com/read. I built it mainly for SEO purposes, but eventually I do see it having feature parity with the other apps.


It's actually all built from scratch. I'm not very familiar with Crosswire but will look into it some more.


Thanks! Can you clarify what type of taxonomy you're asking about?


Sure. Essentially all the videos, topics, and any new type of resources added in the future have Bible reference(s) set (this happens via admin controls). This is another big reason content has to be manually reviewed before allowing it to show up in the app.


I’m asking about the taxonomy around the verses and supporting content like videos.


UPDATE: I just made the app available to all countries.


UPDATE: I just made the app available to all countries. Not sure how long until that change is propagated by the App Stores, but you can try soon.


Yeah it was working very soon after you posted your comment. Cheers. Gosh American bible interpretation is really its own universe! Interesting!


Sorry about that. I'm working to make it available in more countries ASAP.


Thanks will take a look.


It's listed now and I could d/l it.


I have an admin back-end that allows for reviewing, editing metadata, and then approving resources. Once approved new videos get pulled into the app via an API without requiring an app update.


It is currently mostly resources from Protestant teachers (iirc Yale has some good videos on there that include back & forth discussion from both Protestant and Catholic scholars). This is driven mostly by my familiarity with Protestant resources, but I believe it's also true there's less video content available for Catholic or Orthodox teaching that focuses particularly on the Bible (correct me if I'm wrong). I think it would be great for people to have resources from a variety of faith traditions though.
