As we are halfway through Ramadan, I want to take a chance to shed light on some cool Islamic tools and projects.
Some of these are open source and you can use them in your own projects as well.
Al Quran Cloud
Al Quran Cloud is a web app that you can use to read Quran, listen to it with your favorite reciters, and check translations in many languages.
What's cooler about this project is that it provides free APIs that you can use to add Quran verses to your own projects. You can use it to add the Quran verses both are text and audio, as well as display translations of it.
I personally have utilized these APIs in my Chrome extension Quran in New Tab.
You can also support this project on GitHub.
Salat Vue
Salat Vue is a simple Web app that shows you prayer times in any country and city. It also shows you the next prayer and how much time is left remaining.

hijri-date
