“1 of 3 Complete” and the next reading, inside the text

While reading Luke 1:75–2:1 (NGÜ, German), a thin progress line sits under the passage label, and a green bar in the text reads “1 of 3 Complete” and “Next – Mat 1:18-25”.

Design takeaway

Progress tied to today’s assignment, with the next step one tap away, answers “what’s left?” without a dashboard. Check whether reading counts as complete automatically or by choice.

Reading plans

From a plan tied to calendar dates, through a sequence that waits for the reader and a weekly rhythm, to readings that belong to each day, and streaks as a warning case: decide what a plan asks of time, and what happens when someone comes back after days away.
