Lex - terminal-based Bible study and research tool
The program offers a study mode that brings together passage context, interlinear material, lexicon definitions and cross-references. This allows users to investigate the wording and interpretation of a passage without moving between several applications.
Lex keeps its principal study resources in local SQLite databases and JSON files. Reading and searching can therefore work offline after installation, although some specialised manuscript resources may need to be downloaded before they can be used without an internet connection.
This is free and open source software.
Leed - lightweight self-hosted RSS and Atom reader
Leed, short for Light Feed, is a minimalist self-hosted RSS and Atom aggregator designed for reading subscribed feeds through a web browser. It can be installed on a Linux web server and keeps feed retrieval separate from the interactive reading process.
Feed updates can be handled by scheduled jobs so that remote sources are fetched and processed before the user opens the reader. This reduces the delay associated with contacting every subscribed site during normal browsing. Its responsive interface is intended to work across desktop computers, tablets and smartphones.
This is free and open source software.
Selah - cross-platform Bible study app
The app uses the 1769 King James Version and supports offline reading. It includes verse-level rich text notes, word-level highlighting, Treasury of Scripture Knowledge cross references and Strong’s numbers with definitions and search facilities.
Search options include standard text searches, regular expressions and a nearby mode for finding words within a few verses of each other. Selah can also display multiple Bible views side-by-side or stacked.
Optional account-based synchronization keeps notes, highlights and other data synchronized across devices. Data can also be exported and imported.
This is free and open source software.
ASGI WebDAV - asynchronous WebDAV server implementation
Authentication options include HTTP Basic and Digest authentication. Passwords can be stored directly or handled using hashing, while LDAP authentication is also available in experimental form. Anonymous access can be enabled where required, and users can optionally be assigned individual home directories.
ASGI WebDAV also provides a browser-based directory view, allowing files and directories to be explored without using a dedicated WebDAV client. Responses can use Gzip or Zstandard compression, and the project reports compatibility with clients including macOS Finder and Windows Explorer.
This is free and open source software.
