Chapter navigation beside the reading text

A vertical numbered chapter rail appears at the right of Deuteronomy while the reading text and separate passage, WEB and Aa controls remain visible. Another supplied frame shows a large 25 indicator while the reader still names chapter 17.

Design takeaway

Distinguish the current chapter from a candidate destination during scrubbing. Preserve a deliberate way to dismiss the rail and a larger-target alternative. Do not assume a still image establishes when navigation commits.

What this example establishes

A vertical numbered chapter rail appears at the right of Deuteronomy while the reading text and separate passage, WEB and Aa controls remain visible. Another supplied frame shows a large 25 indicator while the reader still names chapter 17.

Limits and further verification

Still images show interface states. Reveal gestures, drag timing, touch targets, screen-reader support and preference persistence were not independently tested. App build is not recorded.

Reader before the rail
Reader before the rail — Separate passage, translation and reading-settings controls sit at the bottom.
Rail with displaced text
Rail with displaced text — The reading surface is shifted left in this supplied frame; whether it is mid-gesture is unverified.
Candidate and current chapter differ
Candidate and current chapter differ — The large indicator shows 25 while the visible reading location is chapter 17. Exact preview and commit behaviour needs interaction testing.
