In between figuring out what to do after a decade of work on Micro (https://github.com/micro), I started a new project called Reminder which tries to provide a single clean app and API for the Quran, Hadith and names of Allah. Maybe some of you would find it beneficial. It tries to put English first since most of us are non Arabic speaking and cultural from the west.
The name of your app reminds me of one I had started working on when I was out of employment: the app was going to send periodic reminders of stuff you've bookmarked/saved on various social media sites.
I was just about working on the Twitter api when Musk bought the company and restricted access. Real bummer. I got employment weeks later.
That's definitely the right name for periodic reminders right. Years ago I wrote an API called remindme which was supposed to provide pings for when you were in proximity to a location and it would remind you if you needed to pay someone, buy something, do something, etc. Never went anywhere but totally unrelated to this.
The Quran itself is referred to as the reminder. Because it's supposed to remind us of why we're here, our purpose, who made us, and all that.
I was wondering what happened to micro recently (loved the m3o domain). Sorry to hear it’s over. Have you written a post-mortem? I’d love to hear more about it — if you don’t feel too downbeat about it.
Haven't written a post-mortem but maybe at some point if it felt useful for others. Startups built around open source are generally very hard. About as bad as social consumer products. Both micro.dev and m3o.com are for sale yes.
