The goal of the campaign is to modernize and elevate SikhiToTheMax (STTM) to its fullest potential by improving the user experience, expanding the capabilities of the desktop and web versions, and integrating new, exciting features. Through this campaign, we aim to gather support to hire skilled talent, mentor junior developers, and ensure the long-term success of SikhiToTheMax as an essential resource for Sikhs around the world. This campaign is a call to action for individuals and organizations to help build and improve a tool that is crucial for spreading the message of Sikhi globally, used in Gurdwaras and homes. Every dollar will directly contribute to speeding up the development process, combining the desktop and web platforms for efficiency, and creating new features that cater to the next generation of users.
Our fundraiser is driven by a deep commitment to improving and expanding SikhiToTheMax, a project that has been integral in making Gurbani more accessible to the global community. We are inspired by the potential of technology to bridge cultural gaps, and our mission is to create a platform that not only serves the present but also empowers future generations.
Why does this project matter?
This project matters because it brings the wisdom and magic of Gurbani to people around the world in a way that is more interactive and accessible. By modernizing the platform, we can ensure that users of all ages and backgrounds can engage with the sacred texts more easily. With technology moving forward at such a rapid pace, we need to keep up and provide tools that meet today’s needs while staying true to the spirit of Sikhi.
How can donors help?
Donors are crucial to helping us build and sustain a platform that is user-friendly and rich in features. With your support, we can hire talented developers to accelerate our progress. By funding our project, you'll help create a lasting impact by supporting the mentorship of junior team members and contractors, and ensuring that we deliver a cutting-edge experience to our users.
How will we use the funds?
The funds we raise will be used to hire talent to speed up the development of SikhiToTheMax with a focus on the following:
Speed Up Development: By hiring talent, we can introduce much-needed improvements faster and maintain STTM for the long-term. Funds from this project will cover software development costs for STTM for 1 year.
Revamp the Experience: A user-friendly design will enhance accessibility, making it easier for everyone to search and read Gurbani.
Innovative Features: Imagine features like speech-to-text and live audio broadcasts that take the STTM experience to the next level.
We believe our team is uniquely positioned to meet our project goals due to a proven track record of success with the Khalis Foundation. As a leader in merging Sikhi and technology, we’ve consistently delivered innovative products that have had a profound impact, including creating the most widely used Gurbani app(Sundar Gutka) in the world. Our expertise and experience have enabled us to stay at the forefront of this niche, bridging the gap between modern technology and the rich traditions of Sikhi. With a clear vision for improving SikhiToTheMax, we have assembled a team that brings together talented developers, seasoned project managers, and dedicated mentors. Our structured plan for tech mentorship ensures that junior team members receive the guidance they need to grow, while experienced developers focus on accelerating progress. The team's commitment to a more engaging user experience, a streamlined codebase, and the development of innovative features like speech-to-text and audio broadcasts gives us the technical and organizational strength to achieve our goals. Additionally, our deep connections with the global Sikh community provide invaluable user feedback, keeping us aligned with what users truly need and value. We are confident that this combination of technical ability, a clear roadmap, and community-driven purpose will enable us to deliver on our goals and continue to make Gurbani more accessible for everyone.
