SUGGESTION: home page ribbon consistency, completeness, ...

Generally the ribbon pulls together the "daily" readings and prayers for us:

  • lectionary / reading cycle (should include multiples)
  • saint of the day
  • prayer list (s)
  • reading plan(s)
  • (should include active reading lists)
  • (should include calendar devotionals)
  • (should include links to Faithlife groups)

Yes, I would prefer to see the calendar devotionals on the ribbon rather than having to search through multiple pages to find them. Perhaps on the ribbon they could simply be the title of the resource with the link.

Secondarily the ribbon introduces us to resources:

  • recent reading lists
  • library preview
  • set preferred Bible

I would also like to see something I would place at the end of the "daily tasks" - the ability to open to a user defined layout, preferably a choice of 3. This would allow one to move smoothly from the daily task list into your actual work for the day - sermon prep, lesson prep, research paper . . . And it would make the ribbon the logical focus to the startup of Logos.

    Hi MJ

    Nice idea.

    Made me wonder whether extending this idea so you can have just this extended ribbon in a panel to the left of a blank layout (ie not worry about the home page) would be a good option to have.

    What do you you think?

    Having it independent of the home page is something I've considered desirable along with the ability to build "to-do" lists. EDIT: It could be a fixed panel that could hide or close much like toolbars in many applications.

    My thinking for this post was to keep it to changes that could be made quickly - with the exception of Faithlife - and to stay within the parameters Logos appeared to be thinking in hopes of getting some actual action on the actual problems.

    Fair enough, sorry to digress
