24 alternatives to The “perfect” website: a minimal, mostly-static, progressive Bible
This repo creates a minimal, mostly-static, progressive Bible hosted at minimalbible.com. The basic gist is that a web-scraper saves the results to database, which is then used to statically render each chapter of the Bible. Dynamic navigation is done with JavaScript by caching the books and chapter

Made this in a free evening. Index an permissive license translation of the Bible (WEB) into a RAG database to allow returning passages of similar semantic meaning. Lots of fun. For example, "more money more problems" returns Ecclesiastes 5:9-13 which, I'll just say, is spot on.. "Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field. He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity. When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to its owner, except to feast on…

Introducing Biblos, a simple tool for semantic search and summarization of Bible passages. Leveraging Chroma for vector search with BAAI BGE embeddings, semantically find related verses across the Bible.

Built on a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture, the app implements a simple Streamlit Web UI using Python.

Wanted to share a project I've been working on the last year! It's a simple, thoughtfully designed Bible app designed to help you focus on the text above all else. I felt really dissatisfied with the low quality of Bible apps available. The popular Bible app by YouVersion is so full of popups, feeds, notifications, and social media integrations that the Bible itself seemed like a side feature to me. I set out to make something simple, beautiful, focused, and delightful to use. I also wanted to add a couple features that I saw missing from other Bible apps. The 2 most notable are a reading…

I rebuilt Biblos, my semantic Bible search app, to run entirely in your browser. No more server costs. The main challenge was fitting an accurate text embedding model into browsers. Last year's version cost $20 monthly to host. The new version runs free on Vercel and searches 31k Bible verses without sending data to any server. I pre-compute embeddings for all 31,000 Bible verses offline using BGE-large-en-v1.5. Each verse becomes a 1024-dimensional vector stored as JSON, compressed into ZIP files by book. When you visit the site, your browser downloads Transformers.js and the BGE model. The…

I use AI while reading the Bible and I suspect others do too. It's helpful whether you're struggling with the Elizabethan English, or want added context/want to know what theologians say about a passage. So I thought, why not make the AI come to you? TIA for any feedback!
