The idea
Sabr means patience in Arabic — and Ramadan is its season. It's a month of fasting, reflection, prayer, and intentional living. I built Sabr to help people track the habits that matter during that month: prayer times, fasting logs, Quran reading, charitable giving.
This was also an experiment: could I vibe code a real, working product?
The build
I built Sabr without having a technical background. Using tools such as: Claude, Figma, Replit (Claude Code) to generate, debug, and iterate, I went from idea to working app faster than I expected. The process forced me to think like a PM — spec the behaviour, test the output, refine until it's right.
It changed how I think about the speed at which product ideas can become real things.
The product
- Habit tracking fundamentals (daily essentials - prayer, Quran, Iftar, adding habits like gym, steps, etc.)
- Design-led approach (progress lantern, moon cycle, calendar strip)
- Subtle nudges, encouraging the user to put the phone down
- Clean, minimal interface
The lesson
Building Sabr taught me two things I now believe firmly: AI is a serious building tool, not just a writing assistant. And the gap between product idea and shipped product is getting very, very small.
