Finally! May we replace X forever

So at our local masjid, the khateeb didn't show up for Jummah prayer for some reason, and everyone was scrambling to find someone to give the khutba, and they all suddenly looked at me and pushed me behind the minbar.

I was completely unprepared but I did what any idiot in this situation did, I looked up how to give the khutba on wikihow and just rolled with it 😂

There as only time for me to give like a 5 minute speech, so naturally I just recited the verses from the Quran about Riba that I knew and talked about it's severity very briefly. There was actually more that I wanted to say, but I wasn't prepared as this was last minute.

Alhamdulilah, I think it went well. Many came up to me afterwards and wanted me to talk more about Riba, so I guess I may have inadvertently made myself one of the khateebs at our masjid, and man am I so unqualified for this. Alhamdulilah. What a weird Friday.

any sleep scientists around here? who know some things about sleep psychology here?

Wait until you hear about YakiHonne!! I hardly use primal now and use that instead. It’s another upgrade. But that’s the power of Nostr, that you’re not tied to any particular app

Joining the boys here. Total Musk Death.

Muslim websites lack design quality

I say this because we actually have the ambition to demand the best from ourselves, to achieve the highest possible quality. And yet, in Muslim products, there is always a certain flaw, those last few percent of quality, that one is otherwise used to from Western products and services, are missing. And the worst thing about it is that we have gotten used to it, we are satisfied with mediocrity.

How did this happen? From Mimar (Architect) Sinan to design ordered from Wish. And this consistently runs through everything we manufacture. However, the application of design principles that we apply to our websites should be consistent. The work is agonizing, it sometimes really hurts, but we should have this ambition.

I'm talking about things like consistent spacing management. Doesn't any Muslim designer build a design system anymore in which he also defines which (white) spaces and units are allowed between UI elements? Does CI only mean logo, font, and color palette these days?

Spacing is the most important thing in web design. That's how you recognize professionals. Anyone can do nice colors and design modules. But mastering the vertical and horizontal rhythm is a different matter. Admittedly, I only learned it in my 10th year in web design.

Spacing downwards, design grid, balanced line heights for body text and headings that fit the overall rhythm ... for this, the eye first needs to be trained, and then you have to come up with a mathematical number system and apply it consistently. This is ancient craft knowledge, and back then we had to implement it against different browser interpreters. Today, the implementation is easier, but the knowledge seems to have disappeared. Among all the website generators, the craft seems to have disappeared.

But the mediocre designers get away with it. Because the customer also doesn't have a trained eye. On the contrary, they are used to trash. At least, I see less and less Muslim excellence in design today, but mostly just something slapped together. This has to change, we have to become a brand again. A quality feature that is recognizable and based on precision.

Yes, they recently introduced Replit Agent, an AI agent that you can basically prompt to build/design apps for you

I haven't tried it myself, but I heard good things about Repl.it which uses AI

You need to also sort this out!! lol 😂

Can’t zap you without it
