Show HN: Reminder – Quran, hadith and names of Allah all in one app and API (github.com)

🤖 AI Summary
Reminder is an open-source app and API that consolidates the Quran (English & Arabic), Hadith (Bukhari, English) and the 99 Names of Allah into a single searchable service. It exposes JSON endpoints (/api/quran, /api/hadith, /api/names, /api/search) and returns summarized answers via a POST to /api/search with {"q":"..."}; it runs locally with reminder --serve and requires an OPENAI_API_KEY (or FANAR_API_KEY) to power search summarization. The project uses GPT-4o together with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for contextual referencing and indexing, and explicitly treats LLMs as a search/index tool rather than offloading core religious reasoning to them. A lightweight built-in web app is included and can be swapped for a React frontend (pnpm/make build, reminder --web --serve). For the AI/ML community this is a concrete example of applying RAG to canonical religious corpora while emphasizing provenance and source verification to mitigate hallucination risks. Technically notable points: bilingual Quran support, full Hadith collection, API-first design returning structured JSON, GPT-4o-based summarization with linked context, and daily web push notifications. It’s useful both as a developer-ready dataset/service for building downstream apps and as a demonstration of designing LLM-augmented search systems with an explicit stance on model responsibility and traceable sources.
