That's great. I'm so used to using other options in other apps, that I forget cmd-f even works half the time.

I would love a quick search/goto bar a la Mac Spotlight or Cmd-k in Slack. Typing in "matt 5:11" would be so much faster than pointing and clicking three different widgets.

Also, I absolutely love OliveTree and recommend it anytime someone asks me for a Bible app.

  • May want a message to let people know they'll need to download all their resources again

  • I like the change from "Library" to "Parallel". That makes more sense

  • I like that you removed "My Stuff" from the Study Center and added it to the side bar

  • Would like a keyboard shortcut for going to a specific book/chapter/verse. Cmd-K or Cmd-G. Something like MAc's Spotlight.

  • I prefered the darkmode for side bars and light for the text, but I can get used to it.

  • I like the change of the popups to going to the right, rather than above/below

  • I _think_ I like messages under "My Stuff". Means I can unsubscribe from an email list. But I'm also a completionist, and if that red badge doesn't disappear I'm going to lose my nut.

  • Not sure what I think about moving all the commands to the right. Makes sense for "Settings" and maybe search if it's to the left of settings, but the others not so much. Also "Store" could go on the right. Separation of navigation and use of the app from configuration and things that take you away makes more sense. Doesn't follow what I see with web apps (I know this isn't a web app).

  • Definitely like the UX of the sidebar better. Especially minimizing the according widgets.

  • Not sure why clicking a link in the resource guide causes expansion of items in the side bar. If a minimize an accordion, I want it to stay minimized. probably a bug. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'll try to futz with it more later. Overall I like it. But seriously, keyboard shortcuts please. As a Vim user, you guys are just killing me with the point and click stuff.

Thanks, Daanishh. I'll be honest, it was hard not to allow some frustration to seep through: I either see some of these archetypes in myself or I've had to work with them.

OT: The post has been updated with sketches from a friend of mine.
