Here's the new book and chapter selector styling in the upcoming YouVersion.com redesign. The three arrows down show the the states; default, hovered, and selected. You can take a sneak peak of the app here: http://beta.youversion.com/
I have to ask, are you doing the interaction design as well, or just the visual design? Looks beautiful, really, but it also looks like it's going to be poorly functional.
If you're doing the interaction design as well, what else have you tried besides the "pop-up plus scrollbar" paradigm?
• Two columns of names?
• Grid of short titles?
• Anything else?
You have 66 nodes to work with, there's got to be a better way than scrollbars.
Nice, just used it this morning and I would love to see a redesign.
edit: Just tested out the beta and it looks great, but there's a little bug with the greeting "welcome to the new youversion". Can't see the whole thing:
@Zach - Wow, thanks bro. I'm absolutely honored to be working with you and your team.
@Jason - Thank you for your detailed comment! Super good points. Some of these we've seen in our own testing and are looking to fix. So stayed tuned. :)
