introducing waqt.org
salam 3alaikum,
i wanted to write up a brief post about a new prayertime information service, waqt.org. waqt aims to maintain an extremely clean and simple interface while providing powerful features. rss feeds and geolocation support are some of its unique features. currently, it only supports the north america method of calculation, but we will insha'Allah allow it to soon accept other methods.
waqt.org is an open source project, and you can follow it's development on github.
wsalam 3alaikum.
