Chapter-by-Chapter Scrolling for Bible #3298

Open Breadoggo opened 1 month ago

Breadoggo commented 1 month ago

I'm always frustrated when I scroll through a book of the Bible because, although the app shows where a chapter ends, it is not very clear. This makes it difficult to recognize the transition between chapters and can be confusing during reading.

I would like the app to have an option that makes it so that when I scroll through the Bible, I can only scroll to the end of each chapter. After reaching the end of a chapter, I should have to manually go to the next chapter(using the already existing feature of swiping to the right or left) to continue reading. This would ensure clear recognition of the end of one chapter and the start of another.

Since this feature would be optional, it wouldn't inconvenience any users, as they could choose their preferred scrolling method.

I've provided some images to illustrate how this feature would work: IMG_20240731_100911 IMG_20240731_100954 IMG_20240731_101010

Some bible modules have titles for the stories in bold, so why not try another translation? The NASB has headings.

I would like to point out there were no "chapters" when that was written, chapters are even obstructive, try reading Mat25:1 without the interruption.

Psalms is about the only exception, and most of those have headings (AB shows as bold in KJV), the ones that do not probably run from the previous, an example is Psalm103-107, which I think even traverses books (they were kept in five volumes, most volumes have closing phrase(s)) - but maybe the psalms being longer idea is just my opinion.
