Thanks for clarifying -- makes sense. Good luck with the project. Maybe I'm weird about it but reading the Bible for me is personal enough that I don't want to use an app that collects my identifier and tracks usage data. I'd rather pay for something I can use offline or anonymously. Non-profits seem preferable for this sort of thing as well imo.

I'm reminded of this (rather well done) comic about social credit systems, and your concerns are reflected in it: https://www.hummingfluff.com/lovelypeoplecomic.html https://www.hummingfluff.com/lovelypeoplecomic.html I don't mind the occasional online Bible app, but in general, I'd far rather read offline with something that doesn't track my reading/information/etc. I understand that the gamification can be useful, but it also is a wealth of "big data" that can be aggregated and I'm not sure that's healthy for anyone.
