@TinasheMzondiwa Thanks for open-sourcing the Android app, this is awesome.
I've been using the app for years, so it's nice to be able to play with the source code.
I would be very happy and thankful if you open-source hymnal texts as well.

There are many cases where having access to real text is essential.

  1. can simplify the editing of some typos in the Hymnals, i.e in Chichewa, Swahili (I happen to notice)
  2. support other developers who want to use the text in their apps (I am sure you don't mind sharing)
  3. others can just contribute to this CIS app to add other CIS hymnals in other languages.

I have one in Kirundi am willing to add to the app instead of developing a whole new app just for the language.
I am sure this can help the app reach in the long run.
Let me know what you think.

Again nice work you've been doing. I appreciate it.

@shaselle I don't have the text files in this repo because I store them in firebase.
That way I can correct mistakes without the need for an app update.

I am not sure about publishing the files because I have been contacted by the Church before claiming copyright issues.
I can send you all the files I have if you need them. Just send me an email.

@TinasheMzondiwa
Cool, Thanks Will just do that then.
