Bibleside is an offline Bible app featuring the OET (Open English Translation).

The OET (Open English Translation) is a new, open-licensed Bible translation (currently in draft state) featuring multiple versions intended to be used together. ^{Please see the OET website for more info on what makes it different than other translations.}

Bibleside implements the OET's "Reader's" version in the main area and a toggle to show the "Literal" and "Reader's" versions side-by-side. The two can be scrolled together for easy comparison.

Others?

Known issues/TODO

• Bug: Scrolling between the two versions is synced too well? Since the Literal version is lengthier, verses can be in different locations or even off screen.
• Some sections are missing or have misplaced starting points (fix in update_OET_sections.py)

Feedback/contributing

Feedback and contributions are welcome. To help out please open an issue.

Note on Bible versions

Bible versions are treated as separate Bibles. e.g: The OET-RV and OET-LV are treated as a separate bible version.

OET file conversion

There is a Python script in /assets/bibles that will automatically update the json files from the GitHub sources.

The ESFM files from here (OET Reader's version) and here (OET Literal version) are run through usfm-grammar in relaxed mode for conversion to JSON.

Navigate to /assets/bibles and run the file with python update_OET_json.py.

Updating the OET sections

After converting the OET ESFM to json, navigate to the folder with cd assets/bibles and run python update_OET_sections.py. This will generate two dart files mapping the OET sections for use in Bibleside. Move back to the root folder with cd ../.. and run dart format ./lib -l 120 to format the file.
