bib.ly will find all Bible refences on your site like Mark 5:13 and 2 Cor. 5:17 and convert them to links to the bib.ly website (e.g. Mark 5:13 and 2 Cor. 5:17 ) as well as show the Biblical text on a hover card.
When users hovers over a link, they’ll see the text in a popup. If they click the link, they’ll be taken to a site that let’s them pick their favorite Bible site (YouVersion, BibleGateway, etc.)
We’ll add more Bible versions for the popups soon.
