A hosted multilingual hymn vault for English, Twi, and Dangme hymns, built to render new hymn collections from structured JSON and CSV files. # HymnVault A lightweight, multilingual digital hymn library platform that enables churches and organizations to publish, manage, and distribute hymn collections through a simple, data-driven architecture. Unlike traditional hymn applications that tightly couple hymn content to application code, HymnVault separates the software from the hymn data. New hymn books can be added using structured CSV and JSON files without modifying the application's source code, making the platform easy to extend, maintain, and customize. The project currently includes English, Twi, and Dangme hymn collections and is designed to support additional languages and denominations through a standardized content format. --- # Live Demo 🌐 noankomah.github.io --- # Motivation Many churches continue to rely on printed hymn books or static PDF documents, making hymn collections difficult to search, organize, maintain, or distribute digitally. While numerous hymn applications exist, most are developed specifically for a single denomination or language, making them difficult to extend without software modifications. HymnVault was developed to solve this problem by separating hymn content from the application itself. Instead of hardcoding hymn books into the software, hymn collections are stored as structured CSV and JSON files that are dynamically loaded by the application. This allows churches, ministries, and Christian organizations to build their own digital hymn libraries simply by preparing appropriately formatted content files. The result is a reusable platform rather than a single hymn application. --- # Key Features ## Digital Hymn Library - Multilingual hymn collections - Dynamic hymn loading - Structured hymn organization - Fast search functionality - Alphabetical browsing - Hymn number browsing --- ## Reading Experience - Responsive interface - Dark mode - Previous / Next hymn navigation - Favourite hymns - Recently viewed hymns - Clean distraction-f …
