Islamic Articles & Videos App

Designed and developed a high-end Islamic content app with an intuitive toggle for articles and videos, multi-language support, category-based filtering, in-app video playback, WebView article browsing, one-tap instant content sharing, and a minimalist UI for smooth navigation.

Overview: Designing a Scalable, Minimalistic, & User-Centric Islamic Content App

The requirement was to create a centralized app for Islamic articles and videos, allowing users to engage with curated content from various sources. The challenge was to ensure:

  • Easy content access where users can switch between Islamic in-app articles and videos without navigating to third-party sources.
  • Personalized discovery via filtering by category and language to improve content relevance.
  • In-app video playback and article reading to minimize bounce rates.
  • Multi-language accessibility to support a diverse, global Muslim audience.
  • Scalable architecture for smooth performance with growing content and user base.

This required a modular, performance-driven approach to ensure convenient Islamic content consumption while maintaining app efficiency.
