For the Logos team

Try Logos Link, then tell me what you think.

Logos Link (v0.7.0) is now available on the Chrome Web Store on an unlisted personal page. If you’re willing, install it, try it out on a few websites, and share your feedback. This walkthrough covers the core feature surfaces and a few things to try for each.

Toolbar

The quickest entry points: open the sidebar, pin for fast toggle, silence the extension on a given site, or jump to Options.

  1. Click the Logos Link icon in the toolbar to open the sidebar.
  2. Pin the extension (click the puzzle-piece icon → pin icon next to Logos Link) so the toolbar button is always visible and you can toggle it on or off with one click.
  3. Right-click the icon to disable Logos Link on the current website. Useful when a site’s own link-preview (e.g. Wikipedia) conflicts with ours.
  4. Choose Options from the right-click menu to customize default behavior — detection, tooltips, intercepts, citation formats, and Logos product links.

Page content

The core of the product: Logos Link silently detects biblical content on the pages you read. Three specific contexts to try.

Web articles

  1. Go to a page like this Desiring God article — dense in Bible references, theology terms, and biblical entities.
  2. Hover over an underlined Bible reference, topic, Greek/Hebrew word, or book to see a preview tooltip. Click the link to open the sidebar to that item: the right tab, scrolled to the right card.
  3. Click a link in the tooltip to launch Logos: open a Bible, open Factbook, or run a search.

Google Search

  1. Run a Google search for John 3:16, then click the Bible Gateway result. Logos Link intercepts the click and reroutes it to app.logos.com, so the reference opens in the Logos web app instead of Bible Gateway.

Book PDPs

  1. Visit any Amazon book PDP — or a publisher’s book page — and look for the toast in the bottom-right corner that searches for the book on Logos.com.

Omnibox

A keyword shortcut in Chrome’s address bar for fast lookups without opening any page.

  1. Type logos into the Chrome address bar, press Tab or Space, then type either:
    • A search term (e.g. Trinity) — runs a Logos search.
    • A Bible reference (e.g. John 3:16) — opens that passage in the Logos web app.

I haven’t spent much time here yet — pretty basic and needs polish. Ideas welcome.

Context menu

Right-click actions for selected text or links, routed through a Logos Link submenu.

  1. Right-click on page content — selected text or a link — and look for the Logos Link menu item to take actions on the selected item or text.

Also early — needs further testing and polish. Try it on a few kinds of selections and tell me what feels missing.

Before you go

What I’m looking for

There are a number of known bugs and polish issues I haven’t gotten to yet. Feel free to report anything, but focus most of your feedback on the core strategy and feature set.

Where to send feedback. Slack DM, email, or a one-line note on the strategy deck — any format is fine. If it’s a detection bug, the page URL plus the reference / term / book that was missed is plenty.
