Hey Product Hunt,
Super happy to announce BhagavadGita.io (Bhagavad Gita -> Simplified).
Bhagavad Gita is a 700 verse Hindu scripture in Sanskrit that is part of the Hindu epic Mahabharata (chapters 23–40 of the 6th book of Mahabharata). It is a practical guide to one's life that guides one to re-organise their life, achieve inner peace and approach the Supreme Lord (the Ultimate Reality).
As an avid Gita reader, I find it hard to carry a physical copy of the Bhagavad Gita with me all the time. On the flip side, it’s extremely rare that I don’t have my smartphone, my tablet, or my computer with me. So, I searched the internet for an app or a website that was very well designed and at the same time provided some added benefits to the user to enhance his/her reading experience but couldn’t find one.
Say hello to BhagavadGita.io, an app built for Gita readers by Gita readers.
BhagavadGita.io is a modern Gita app with a simple, beautiful and easy to use interface, helping you focus on reading.
It takes design inspiration from Google’s material design, which gives it a modern look and feel and also helps it provide a more engaging user experience with perfect usability. Material Design’s reusable elements help it cut page load times without compromising on the design which means a quicker, leaner platform for both the readers and the makers.
BhagavadGita.io perfectly combines this intuitive, user-friendly design with best-in-class features to greatly enhance the experience of its users.
