Platform Overview

GospeLib is the only scripture study platform that combines Latter-day Saint canonical texts (Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, KJV Bible) with scholarly tools previously available only in academic Bible software -- interlinear Hebrew and Greek, manuscript witnesses, a knowledge graph, pseudepigraphical texts, and an AI study assistant.

The platform serves three audiences at different depth levels through a freemium model:

Audience	Tier	What They Get
All members	Reader (free)	Full scripture text, basic search, Topical Guide, annotations
Serious students and educators	Scholar ($79.99/year)	+ Interlinear, witnesses, scholarly commentary, knowledge graph, AI
Researchers and faculty	Academic ($149.99/year)	+ All features, higher rate limits

Core Capabilities

Scripture Reader

A reading experience designed to feel like entering a sacred space -- reverent, calm, and unhurried -- while being the most powerful scripture study tool ever built. Continuous scroll across chapter boundaries, three reading density modes, three theme modes (Light, Study Dark, Blackout), and auto-hiding chrome that reveals tools only when needed.

Knowledge Graph

Every passage, topic, lexicon entry, and cross-reference is mapped into a navigable FalkorDB graph. The Study Map provides visual exploration of scripture connections through a Sigma.js/Graphology WebGL canvas with force-directed layout.

Study Tools

Highlights in 12 colors (8 doctrinal + 4 personal), verse-anchored notes with rich-text editing, bookmarks, reading history, and a Pinboard for accumulating connections during a study session.

AI Assistant

LLM-powered passage explanations, study questions, and cross-reference suggestions. Anthropic Claude as the primary provider with OpenAI fallback. Citational and scholarly -- built for depth, not summaries.

Search

Full-text search powered by Typesense with faceted filtering by book, testament, and corpus. Smart reference parsing recognizes scripture references like "1 Ne. 3:7" or "John 3:16" and navigates directly to the passage.

Multi-Translation Support

31 languages and 4.4 million Translation nodes in the graph. The interlinear view aligns multiple English translations to the same original-language word sequence (Hebrew for OT, Greek for NT) via Strong's number anchoring.

Plugin Ecosystem

A plugin architecture with QuickJS WASM sandbox for community extensions. 10 core plugins ship with the platform. Plugins contribute pane types, sidebar widgets, toolbar actions, hover card tabs, and Study Map node renderers.

Subscriptions

Stripe-powered freemium billing with entitlement gating at the API gateway level. Free trial, plan comparison, and seamless upgrade flows.

Technical Foundation

The platform runs on a polyglot microservices architecture:

• 8 backend services in Go and Python
• FalkorDB knowledge graph as the primary data store (not a cache -- the product IS the graph)
• 14-stage ingest pipeline that transforms source corpus JSON into a fully connected graph
• Nx + pnpm monorepo with TypeScript, Go, and Python workspaces
