Beta test the new Gospel Library Online

Post by barkeraj »

Hello!

I'm the lead developer for the Gospel Library Online (GLO), which is the web version of the Gospel Library App (GLA) mobile application.

We are working on a new Gospel Library experience on ChurchofJesusChrist.org, and we'd love your help testing it. We'd appreciate it if you could spend a little time exploring, reading content, and generally using it as you normally would.

A few things to know:
  • This is a test version, so you may run into bugs or things that don't work as expected.
  • Some features, including annotations, are not available in this preview.
  • It isn't hugely different than the current site. A few updates this round (listed below) but it has the same general look and structure.
A few things to try:
  • Table of Contents:
    • We’ve added a new Table of Contents on the left side that allows you to navigate the entire library. Access it by clicking the open book icon in the top left.
  • Side by Side Study:
    • We’ve updated the related content area to allow you to navigate additional content and study side by side. Click on any link within an article/book and it will open the side bar view. This can be resized and you can navigate to additional content.
How to share feedback:
If you find an issue or have suggestions, please use the blue Feedback button found on the right-hand side of the site, or just respond to this thread. Whether you encounter a bug, notice something that doesn't look right, or have ideas for improvement, we'd love to hear from you. Finding bugs is not something you are doing wrong but is helping us to improve. You reporting bugs is exactly what we need to make the site as good as it can be before we do a full release.

Thanks for helping us improve Gospel Library. We really appreciate your time and feedback!

I recently was I guess randomly redirected to the beta site on Saturday and started providing feedback. I thought I'd see if there was any discussion on the Forums about this. I just noticed your comment in the beta forums, even though you posted it in August. I kind of forget this Beta sub existed, as it's been around 15 years since these forums were actively used. It's nice to see someone from the church try to engage with people again.

Happy to help with any additional feedback! By the time I get to see the feedback it is anonymized so not sure what feedback you left to give you more of a response. If you want to share again here, I'll respond with what I can :)
