  • On a Scripture page, a user can “Facebook Like” a page or a line OR share a line via Facebook, Twitter or other Social Networks
  • On a Scripture page a user can now download the page in CSV format
  • All of the website is now available in a mobile friendly format, please go to http://www.sikher.com/guru-granth-sahib/user/search/mobile on your smartphone and give it a whirl!
  • For software developers, a JSON-RPC API has already been developed, and now we have created a faster RESTful API with the same functions

Roadmap

  • More speed improvements are on their way, we are transitioning to use MongoDB instead of MySQL
