BibleVerse Pi / iMac - Tactility replica

Replicated Apps/BibleVerse from git.reynafamily.com/adolforeyna/tactility_apps (v6 2142871 editorial - Georgia Italic serif, 15px lift, menu auto-show 10s, animated book picker, no black bar).

Pi project

~/Projects/BibleVersePi/ - Python + pygame Linux replica, maximized auto-fit

• Bible: bible/ 66 bin/idx + books.json WEB 31094 verses, same format as Tactility C app
• Auto-fit: binary search biggest font that fills 92%w x 88%h; Jesus wept 110pt, Genesis 1:1 67pt, mid 45-55pt (previously fixed tiers)
• UX: 1 verse fullscreen, 60s auto-advance, tap toggles chrome, 10s auto-hide, fade 220/300ms, highlight star -> favorites, book picker swipe dial animated
• Run: ./run.sh windowed, ./run.sh --fullscreen Pi immersive
• Persistence: ~/.local/share/bibleverse-pi/progress.txt + favorites.txt same as Tactility

Autostart:

• ~/.config/autostart/bibleverse-pi.desktop - GNOME autostart fullscreen 5s delay
• ~/.config/systemd/user/bibleverse-pi.service - enabled, After=graphical-session.target, ExecStartPre sleep 5, Restart on-failure
• ~/bin/bibleverse-pi not needed, using run.sh wrapper handling DISPLAY/WAYLAND/XAUTH

iMac screensaver replacement

Replaces ~/.local/share/screensaver.html (clock + news ticker - backup screensaver.html.bak.clock_20260713_141309) with maximized BibleVerse HTML version.

• ~/.local/share/screensaver.html - 17KB HTML, maximized auto-fit JS, same UX as Pi, 92vw x 88vh, EB Garamond Google Font + Liberation fallback, particles subtle
• ~/.local/share/bible_verses.js - 4.9MB WEB 31094 verses pre-built from Pi bible .bin/.idx via /tmp/build_bible_js.py
• ~/bin/bibleverse-kiosk.sh - wrapper handling XAUTH=mutter file, DISPLAY=:0, WAYLAND=wayland-0, --kiosk chrome --user-data-dir=...screensaver
• ~/.config/autostart/bibleverse-screensaver.desktop - Exec=~/bin/bibleverse-kiosk.sh, replaces old clock screensaver autostart (old one had no desktop file, was bare chrome process)
• Live: PID 433825 2026-07-13 2560x1440 iMac primary, GPU wayland --render-node-override, restart via ~/bin/bibleverse-kiosk.sh --restart

Controls same both platforms: tap/click toggles chrome (X close, ☰ books, ◀ Prev, ❚❚/▶ Play/Pause, ▶ Next, ☆/★ Fav), B book picker, ← → Space, F fav, wheel, drag/swipe in picker, slider.

To restore old clock screensaver: cp ~/.local/share/screensaver.html.bak.clock_* ~/.local/share/screensaver.html && ~/bin/bibleverse-kiosk.sh --restart

Future

• iMac font: now uses EB Garamond via Google Fonts (closest to Georgia Italic), falls back to Liberation Serif - can embed real Georgia if licensed
• Pi windowed 1024x576+ but can go 1280x800 for iMac dev same code
• To sync progress between Pi and iMac: could use brain or Nextcloud shared file - currently local per device
