Example Panchang App

See the daily panchang app Claude Code generated when instructed to use the Kaalchakra API.

Demo app

A daily panchang app that pulls data from the Kaalchakra API.
I would like you to create a web application that displays today's
panchang in a layout that is beautiful and easy to read displaying
names in both romanized Sanskrit and Devanagari.

Here are the tools you should use:
- Please create an express application that uses server-side rendering
to render a front-end application built using React and Tailwind.
- The front-end application should display today's panchang data.
- The server should use the Kaalchakra REST API to query for daily
panchang data. Please read the docs at
https://docs.kaalchakra.dev/api-reference/overview and
https://docs.kaalchakra.dev/api-reference/endpoint/get.md to learn how
to use today's panchang API endpoint at
https://api.kaalchakra.dev/v1/panchang/current_day.
- Requests to the API will need to include my Kaalchakra API key
`$KAALCHAKRA_API_KEY` as the value of the `"auth"` query parameter.
Be sure to store the token in an environment variable instead of
hardcoding it.
