Nice work!

Any possibility for an option to list/read/explore the deuterocanonical books, i.e. for translations that have them, e.g. the RSV[1]?

Also, there are freely accessible texts of the Knox translation[2] and Douay-Rheims (Challoner revision of 1752)[3] online, the latter from multiple sources:

https://www.newadvent.org/bible/

https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1581/1581-h/1581-h.htm

The Douay-Rheims (Challoner) text is certainly in the public domain.

As for the Knox translation, I'm aware newadvent.org arranged permissions with the Westminster Diocese who hold the copyright; maybe they'd be open to giving similar permissions for your app?
