Quran.com

This project is the frontend for Quran.com. It is built using Reactjs + Redux + Expressjs + Webpack. It is isomorphic (javascript shared between both the server and the client) for SEO reasons.

DB is private, message @mmahalwy for access.

The dev server uses the staging API by default. If you want to use a local API server, follow the instructions in the API repo and run the server locally then update the API_URL field in app.json to point to the local address.
