Experimental Resource Display

Some of you have already discovered it, but I wanted to publicly announce an experiment we are doing that attempts to bring our desktop application's resource display engine to your web browser.

With it comes our support for all of your custom highlight styles, bible text only, lexicon reformatting, interlinear resources, our pagination/columns support, figure layout, and on-screen footnotes, and more. Party!!!

To enable it and give it a try, find the option to "Enable Experimental Resource Display" in your profile menu in the upper right of app.logos.com.

Note that currently it does take significantly longer to load and has certain browser requirements. If you have trouble after enabling it, let us know what platform/browser/version you are using.

We hope to continue adding features and your feedback will be invaluable as we make plans for how best to do so!

Thanks, we were able to reproduce the same issue but only on Safari 9 and OS X 10.11. OS X 10.10 worked fine.

We will investigate. In the meantime, I recommend Chrome or Firefox if you are running OS X 10.11.

Glad it's working for you, John! Let us know what you think of it once you get a chance to use it for a while.

It's fantastic to get this in the web app, even if it is still experimental for now.

I have been using it for a little while. Interestingly Firefox 44.02 breaks on the mac. I have crashes when I try to visit the page unless experimental resource display is off.

It's naturally tempting to focus on features that aren't there when I'm so used to the features of the desktop app. In general I'm very happy to see how things are coming along but they are not yet at a level I find particularly useful. I keep checking back.

The only other glitches I found were:

In the text comparison tool as I typed NLT, NRSV, etc each time I entered a comma the previous word disappears but when I press enter I get the desired result.

I get a lot of orphaned popups.

There's an issue that affects use of Chrome on Windows 10. The Chrome browser has an issue with a disappearing mouse cursor in Windows 10 for some users (me included). The solution is to disable hardware acceleration in Chrome in the settings. However, if you do this you will also lose this ability in the Logos Web App. I understand if there's nothing you can do to make the LWA work with hardware acceleration off, but I just thought I'd report it so you can check it out. Sometimes an update for Chrome fixes this issue, but then another Chrome update breaks hardware acceleration again. The most recent version works, but I had to remember to go back in and turn it on and joila LWA experimental resource display worked.
