Ravi S. Iyer: Software Development

From web application (web app),  https://www.techtarget.com/searchsoftwarequality/definition/Web-application-Web-app : "A web application (web app) is an application program that is stored on a remote server and delivered over the internet through a browser interface." The web app is accessible on various platforms like desktop PC, laptop and mobile through a browser like Chrome. The article has an interesting section: "Web app vs. native app vs. hybrid app". Essentially, in the mobile platform, the native app is built for that platform and may use features of mobiles like GPS and camera. As of now, my work is only on web apps. To prevent confusion, I have modified my Gita (web) app and related blog posts to use the term 'Gita web app' instead of 'Gita app'.

Last updated on 1st Aug. 2024 Minor update on 1 Oct. 2024 Quick Info App (latest version) deployed at:  https://gita-rsi.vercel.app/ Github repo of app:  https://github.com/ravisiyer/gita About older v1.0 Details Chapter 7, Verse 3 has half-character data which is not rendered correctly by app but rendered correctly by Gita Supersite . DevTools show both use same Nirmala UI! But my app's text in DevTools shows:  मनुष्याणां सहस्रेषु कश्िचद्यतति सिद्धये। यततामपि सिद्धानां कश्िचन्मां वेत्ति तत्त्वतः।।7.3।। ------ Whereas Gita Supersite's text in DevTools shows: मनुष्याणां सहस्रेषु कश्चिद्यतति सिद्धये। <br> <br> यततामपि सिद्धानां कश्चिन्मां वेत्ति तत्त्वतः।।7.3।। ------ When time permits, I can investigate the above issue. ========================== If chapter number keyed in app navbar is 44 then console log shows this error: layout-e57c21b52ccd05b8.js:1 getMaxVersesInChapter(): Argument chapterNumber has invalid value of: 44.

I have enhanced the  Very Simple Gita web app  to a regular web User Interface (UI) app using Tailwind CSS. The app also now uses TypeScript. As, from a source code point of view, it no longer is a very simple Gita app, I am calling it Gita app. though the current version 1.0 is still a simple web app. Addition of some more features may ma...

I am migrating the Very Simple Gita app to a regular web UI app using Tailwind CSS. I have finished the migration to Tailwind CSS and TypeScript. I have changed the navigation bar to a regular web app UI (with mobile menu drop-down). As, from a source code point of view, it no longer is a very simple Gita app, I am calling it: Simple Gita app. It can be run at: https://gita-rsi.vercel.app/  and this is its Github repository (source code): https://github.com/ravisiyer/gita . Note that the app is open-source and freeware. So anybody is free to adapt and reuse it for their needs. I am now considering adding a home page with a suitable image(s) to the app (large size image for tablet width and above, and small image for lesser (mobile)). So I need a free Krishna teaching Arjuna pic. I got a few, which are listed below, but I would like to see if there are other such pics too and so am checking with readers by putting up this post. I think there are two free aspects for a pic. One is r...
