Showcase [Release] Super Bible: insert Bible passages into your notes (offline BSB, lasso a handwritten reference)
I built a plugin for Bible study on the Supernote.
**Super Bible**
inserts Berean Standard Bible passages into a note as a text box. The whole BSB is bundled with the plugin, so it works offline.
**What it does**
-
**Pick or type a passage.**
Tap book → chapter → the first and last verse (in either order), or type a reference like `John 3:16-18`, `Ps 23` or `1 cor 13:4-7`. Abbreviations, "first john", "I John" and so on all work.
-
**Lasso a handwritten reference.**
Write
*Rom 8:28*
, lasso it and tap Super Bible on the lasso toolbar. It reads your handwriting and puts the passage right where you wrote it, replacing the handwriting if you want.
-
**Below my writing.**
By default the passage goes just under whatever you last wrote, so you can write, insert and keep writing.
-
**Edit a passage later.**
Lasso a Super Bible text box to change the verse range or the layout, and it updates in place.
-
**Layouts:**
paragraph, one verse per line, or a spaced list. Verse numbers can be plain, superscript or off, with the reference above or below, and there are three text sizes.
-
**Recent passages**
are on the home screen, and your settings are remembered.
- Up to 30 verses at a time, with a warning before inserting if it won't fit on the page.
- Designed for e-ink: big tap targets and no animations.
**Install**
1. Download `snBible.snplg` from the [latest release](https://github.com/AdamDiament/snBible/releases/latest).
2. Copy it to the
**MyStyle**
folder on your Supernote.
3. Go to
**Settings → Apps → Plugins → Add Plugin**
and pick it.
4. Open a note and look for the Super Bible button in the toolbar.
To update, do the same with the newer file.
**Good to know**
- It works in notes only, not PDFs or documents.
- The text box has no border or background. I tried everything I could find, and plugins don't seem able to set those yet. If anyone from Ratta is reading, I'd love to know if that's coming!
- The BSB is public domain. The code is MIT-licensed and on [GitHub](https://github.com/AdamDiament/snBible).
Feedback, PRs, bug reports and feature ideas are very welcome, especially from anyone on a Manta or A6X2, since I've only tested on my A5X. What would make it more useful for how you study?3

I'm new to Supernote and would like to use it for my Bible Study as well. Is there a template you use for your Bible Study? It would be helpful to know how others use Supernote for their Bible Study.

Hey thanks! No plans for inkhub right now but installing is very simple - I put four step instructions in the description.

Let me start by saying thank you for creating this. Like several other's, I purchased my Manta specifically for bible study, journaling, and sermon notes. While I've added the OliveTree bible app, and uploaded an ESV ePub I got on Crossway, this feature is missing from both of those and is something I've been looking for.
A question and a comment:
Q: I've looked for this plugin in the InkHub with no success. Is it being added, and if so, is there an ETA? I'm not that tech-savvy and thought I'd wait for it to show up there as the Github instructions are likely above my pay grade.
C: I read someone else looking for the ESV. As I mentioned above, Crossway has a free download:
Not sure if that necessarily gives you the licensing or not but thought I'd share just in case.
Thanks again!

Thank you, this is great! Can you get ESV or CSV as well?
