Database diagram

This is not the complete diagram as there are also other tables for translations and metadata. See full schema in /Database folder

Motivation :

This project was heavily inspired by the online coptic lectionnary in php. (Just like this site)

I wanted to re-create this project in an API to be able to use the daily readings on different clients.

Run the project

Either use VisualStudio and open the project in API/Katameros.sln

Or

• Install dotnet sdk
• dotnet run in the API folder
