About this project
Product design & development
The problem
Original verses, translations, meanings and commentary can quickly compete for attention. A reading interface needs to support depth while preserving a clear path through the text.
The approach
Organise the experience around chapters and verses, with layers of translation and interpretation available as readers need them.
Design decisions
Multiple ways into a verse
Sanskrit, transliteration and translations support different reading needs.
Depth when it is useful
Word meanings, audio and classical perspectives extend the reading experience.
Space for personal reflection
Bookmarks, notes and reading progress help readers return to what matters.
The product
An account-free web reader and an iPhone app, connecting structured study with everyday reading.
