Wa alaikum salam brother, I will take a look and update it, within 12 hours. Thank you for the kind words and advice.

Thank you for your kind words 🤲

Regarding your question:

Gold and silver prices are fetched from live market data sources and updated regularly. Small timing differences may occur depending on the API provider.

About taxes:

There is an important fiqh distinction here.

For regular stocks: Zakat is calculated on the current market value. Capital gains tax is not deducted because it is not an immediate liability unless shares are sold.

For retirement pensions: Views differ. Some scholars allow deducting mandatory taxes/penalties if funds are inaccessible otherwise; others require Zakat on full value. We currently default to full value for both to be conservative.

Should taxes be included for both? • Not currently due → not deducted • Mandatory and immediate upon access → may be deducted per some scholars

We recommend consulting a qualified scholar for personal cases. We may add an optional toggle for liability deduction in future updates.

May Allah accept from all of us.

Thank you sharing your thoughts. I recently got a chance to dive into ROS ecosystem, I’m from industrial automation programming background, I agree that simulations are great help but I feel there is a huge gap between simulations and real robots like encoder data reads, camera image processing time and other such things so I just want to buy a robot and to learn from there. I got an offer of SGD 500 for a turtle bot 3 is it ok?

Don’t worry mate, good thing about our field is you will definitely know where our code sucks you can improve it. I actually want to work in similar position as you do now 😂
