Software for searching, navigating, and presenting the Shabad OS database.
Shabad OS for Desktop is a GPL-licensed open source project with ongoing development, project management, and marketing made possible entirely by the support and dedication of unpaid volunteers.
This app can be used to display bani & gurbani in the home or at the gurdwara. A server model allows multiple devices to act as a display or a controller. The same model enables live captions to be in sync with the projector / presentation device.
Helpful features were added over years of production-ready use.

Expectations for participating in Shabad OS open source communities are similar to other open source communities1. Our team and community members are committed to being welcoming, patient, and respectful. People violating this code of conduct may be banned/blocked from the community.
-
Be welcoming, for our community is made up of differing backgrounds. Including, but not limited to, race, sex, gender, culture, religion, nation, caste, education, age, politics, and mental/physical ability.
-
Be patient, for our community comprises of differing native languages. A welcoming attitude can be more constructive when communicating through someone else’s second or third language. This can also apply to programming language!
-
Be respectful, for our world-wide community includes many views and perspectives. Professional conduct rarely leads to disrespectful behavior or poor manners, so we strive to conduct ourselves professionally.
-
Be understanding, for our project may deal with subjectivities which cannot be analyzed objectively. Our goal is to use disagreements, both social and technical, as learning opportunities. Differences should be resolved as constructively as possible.
-
This code of conduct is an example. It serves to capture our goals and intents. If working on Shabad OS projects, then follow the spirit of this code as much as the literal code of conduct.
