FSD on Mobile app? (A suggestion)

Question: Is the FSD (Facilitate Serendipitous Discovery) function available on the mobile app?

Just have an idea: Just like how many of us are now used to scrolling or flipping through news articles on our cell phones, it would be really cool to have a Logos "news" app or function, where:

- The app will randomly select sections or articles from our library;

- Just like news aggregator apps allow us to select which news sources to include or exclude, or which topics we're interested and want to see more or less of, this app would also allow us to choose which book types / topics / tags we want to include or exclude in the Logos "news" FSD feed;

- Use AI-driven summary function to generate an accurate and attractive title for each randomly selected article, perhaps with selected pictures if available. (e.g. I just used FSD on the desktop and it randomly selected a "Conclusion" section from one of my "Five Views" books... so AI-summary is needed to generate a more informative heading that gives a sense of the section's content.)

What do you think of this idea?

    I love FSD and having an enhanced version on the mobile app would be great!

    I tried to run the FSD command on my iPad. It didn't do anything. I confirmed with John Fallahee that it's not on mobile yet (just desktop). I agree it would be useful on mobile.

    I shouldn't use mobile devices in bed, but I do sometimes use my iPad mini in bed when I can't sleep to look up something random to make myself sleepy. FSD would help in these instances where I'd at least be reading something biblical instead of dealing with a secular search engine.

    Of course I could also re-read Barth's Church Dogmatics, Schleiermacher's Christian Faith, or Clinton's My Life if I really need to sleep. :-)
