I was one of these. I have created a number of instances. Most/all(?) fell by the wayside eventually. I always felt it was very hard work to make run for someone who is a hobbyist in essence. I am not sure how to fix that. My main difficulties were always around Tomcat and the CORBA connection.  Making them work and securing them so much that I felt comfortable to leave it be open to the malignant net - this was always a challenge. 

Maybe I was paranoid and clumsy.

Nope, that didn't work :)  Whereas https://crosswire.org moved the sidebar divs under the main body, swordweb tried to keep them and basically had a 1 word column for the Bible text. :)  We need you, Don!  HTML/CSS are not my strong points :)

Hi Don,

This morning I sent Psalm 139 to remind a friend that God who created a 1000 galaxies formed her and wrote each of her days... and then I realized that she will likely click on the link from her phone and then I thought of you. 🙂 Any more thoughts on a more mobile-friendly UI?

A few years ago, to the main https://crosswire.org website, I added per recommendation:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

and it really helped quite a bit. Maybe I'll try that with SWORDWeb this afternoon and see if it makes things better or worse.

I use SWORDWeb from my phone regularly, and what I like is that if I double-tap the center Bible text column, chrome zooms in exactly on that column so it's pretty usable with that trick.

Anyway, by the time you read this, I may have done some experimenting with the header tag, above. Let me know if you have ideas for an interface which adapts better to screen size.

Thanks again for all your work,

Troy

Troy,

ok Great. Thanks.

I have not messed with Docker yet. I guess I need to get with the times. lol This will give me a good excuse. No promises, but I will check it out.

Hi Don! I don't know if anyone is running the site other than CrossWire. We've helped a few people setup the software over the years but not sure if they continue to run it.

We've made an OCI container of the software to make it scalable and to more easily spin up an image:

https://hub.docker.com/r/crosswire/swordweb

Not sure who might be pulling that as a base or a spinning up an instance.

It's great to hear from you! I've often reused your html and style in other html UI apps which present SWORD functionality. If you install Bishop, it should look a bit familiar. 😀

Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-sword-project/id1399921911

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.crosswire.bishop

We'd love to have you contribute to an improved user experience in our new world of diverse screen sizes, if you can find the time between pastoring.

Hope you've been well!

Troy

Is anyone running SWORDWeb in the wild, other than 
https://www.crosswire.org/study/

Just wondering. Its been a long time since we designed that. I have been 
thinking about jumping back into the project and helping update it to be 
mobile friendly, if there is any interest.
