Getting started with Bible Notes

Bible Notes is built for people who want Scripture and reflection in the same document. Here is a straight path from zero to your first saved study.

Create an account

Visit the register page and choose an email plus password. The server stores a salted hash, not your password in plain text. After sign in, NextAuth keeps a session cookie so you can return without typing credentials every time.

Open the dashboard and start a note

The dashboard links you to My notes. From there, choose New note. The app creates a row in Postgres tied to your user id and sends you to the editor.

Write and let autosave work

The editor saves the title and JSON content on a throttle while you type. Watch for the saving indicator in the note chrome. You can close the tab once it shows saved.

Try the toolbar demo first (optional)

If you want to explore formatting without creating a note, open /simple. That page loads the same Tiptap surface but does not persist content.

What to do next

Read Scripture inserts and locked passage text when you are ready to pull verses in through the Bible picker.

"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path." (Psalm 119:105, WEB)
