Howdy! I love the gospel library app but use a linux desktop.
There is only a desktop version of the gospel library app for Windows (and mac aparently?)
I was wondering if there is ever going to be a port or version for Linux? I am trying to get it running via WINE, but I am not sure it will work due to the desktop app being a MS store application.
Does anyone know of anyone getting this working thus far?
Note: I can't use a vm due to lack of hardware ability.

Re: A Linux desktop app
The Windows version was originally created back when Microsoft had windows phones and tablets. Unlike Android and iOS, it's completely user coded/supported.
For a Linux version to appear, there would have to be a critical mass of developers volunteering. Even that might not be enough as the church still has to pay for security testing. Given the very limited appeal of Linux, I don't foresee that coming anytime soon.
Also consider there's no native Mac app.
