Currently posting the Hadiths from Sahih al-Bukhari in serial.

### Concept

It's really simple. GitHub action is written in this file. You can notice a scheduler - 

```

on:

  schedule:

    - cron: "0 */6 * * *"

```

And the rest of the process is self explanatory.

A tracker is used to put the latest posted Hadith number in the `hadith_track.json` file. 

API's are from this project - https://github.com/Ananto30/ask-hadith

### Flow

```

Get last Tweeted Hadith number from tracker

                    ⭣

          Get Hadith from API 

                    ⭣

      Make chunks for long Hadith

                    ⭣

   Limit chunks for very long Hadith 

                    ⭣

        Tweet and comment chunks

                    ⭣

       Format and post on Facebook

                    ⭣

              Update tracker

```

### Contribution

There can be a different approach of Tweeting (as Twitter has character limits on each post) or Hadith Selection, please create an issue and let's discuss about that.
