Hi marmistrz

Its a long time ago since I last touched MiniBible.
As you might have seen, its written in Python. For other apps on Maemo I used to use external libraries, how ever this is/was not possible on Harmattan, so I could not use the Sword library, all through it would have been better and a great speed improvement I guess.
My way to work around the slow data file access was to extract the data once and filling it into plain text files. After that, the data access was very fast. This also brought the great advantage of a incredible quick full text search by using the very powerful grep tool.

If openrepos/Jolla now allows external libraries, feel free to modify minibible. I on my side will not continue work on it as I moved away from Maemo/Harmattan quite a while ago.

Best regards
