Xulka Qur'aada

Outcome

Over 85,000 monthly active listeners across the Horn of Africa and the global diaspora.

The challenge

Somali Quran recitations were scattered across low-bitrate clips and fragmented channels. Listeners faced buffering, no reliable offline saving, and zero verse-by-verse visual sync for memorization.

How we built it

We designed an audio-first stack for variable networks: Cloudflare R2 with edge caching, Flutter + web players, and timestamp tools that sync Arabic Uthmani text to the reciter line-by-line.

What we shipped

• High-performance web player with background playback
• Flutter apps with offline surah downloads
• Studio portal for lossless uploads and verse timestamping
• Real-time ayah highlight as the reciter speaks
• Edge distribution tuned for 3G/4G Horn and diaspora routes

Overview

Web and Flutter apps for the Somali community and diaspora — follow-along Arabic typography, playlists, offline audio, and reciter catalogs.
