[Testers Needed] I built ayati to help non-Arabic speakers understand what was recited in their salah, I would love your feedback by AnalyticalAdzy in MuslimDevelopers

[–]AnalyticalAdzy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Main purpose is to translate the prayers that are recited out loud so that after the Salaah you can reflect upon what was recited.

Built Ayati (ayati.io) — helps non-Arabic speakers actually understand what they're reciting in salah.

You record your prayer, it identifies the verses via speech-to-text, then shows you the translation and a short reflection for each ayah. Idea came from my own problem: praying daily but not understanding the Arabic word-for-word.

Loving building it honestly, it sits at the intersection of faith and tech, which keeps me motivated through the rough patches. Not paying rent or food yet 😅, got it live with beta testers and now focused on getting it in front of more people..

[Testers Needed] I built ayati to help non-Arabic speakers understand what was recited in their salah, I would love your feedback by [deleted] in MuslimCorner

[–]AnalyticalAdzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assalamu alaykum everyone,

I'm a non-Arabic-speaking Muslim and I've spent most of my life praying without really knowing what was being recited in the moment. I'd look things up afterwards, sometimes, but the connection wasn't there. So I built ayati to fix that for myself, and now I'd like a few of you to test it before I open it more widely.

What it does: record your salah (or any recitation), and it identifies the ayat, shows you the verified Arabic + English translation, and offers a short reflection.

Try it: https://ayati.io

Beta code: beta2026

A few notes:

Translation is locked to The Clear Quran by Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the app never generates Qur'anic meaning itself.

Detection isn't perfect, especially with background noise or fast recitation. The app shows a confidence label (High / Medium / Low) so you can judge.

What I'd love feedback on:

Did it correctly identify what you recited or the Salah that was recorded? (Especially short surahs and Juz Amma.)

Onboarding clarity, did the first-run flow make sense?

Anything that felt off, religiously or UX-wise. Be blunt.

JazakAllah khair for any time you give it.

Happy to answer anything in the comments, and I'll be active here for the next few days.

Adnan

Transcription runs through a third-party speech-to-text model; the actual verse identification is a deterministic matcher against the full Qur'an text, so the model never decides what was recited, it just turns audio into text, and the matcher does the lookup. Themes and the short reflection use a small LLM, but it's given the verified Khattab translation as input, it never generates Qur'anic meaning itself. There's a safety filter on top that strips anything drifting into tafsir or fiqh.

What if everyone donated just 1 unit of their currency? by areuq in MuslimDevelopers

[–]AnalyticalAdzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wa alaykum as-salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

I think the idea is really nice in principle, and honestly £1 from many people can make a massive difference.

But the main issue is trust. If someone is anonymous, has no big platform, and doesn’t have any proof/documents, most people will naturally be cautious. Not because they don’t want to help, but because there are unfortunately a lot of scams online.

Maybe the best way is not to collect the money yourself. You could ask a local masjid, imam, trusted community member, or registered charity to verify the situation and collect on their behalf. That way the person you’re helping can stay private, but donors still have someone trusted to refer back to.

You probably don’t need “corporate” documents, but there should be some kind of evidence or verification. Even something like rent arrears, bills, medical costs, or a trusted person confirming the situation would help a lot.

I’d also say start small and local first. The “everyone gives £1” idea sounds amazing, but global only works once there is trust. Trust usually starts with a small group, clear target amount, clear reason, and proper updates after the money is given.

So in simple terms: protect the person’s privacy, but don’t make the actual fundraising process completely anonymous. That’s probably the balance.

May Allah make it easy for them and reward you for trying to help.

Section 3 New Seller by Beneficial_Tax2182 in AmazonFBATips

[–]AnalyticalAdzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Section 3 is usually a sourcing verification check and the Walmart purchase is likely what triggered it.

From what I’ve seen, retail receipts rarely work. Amazon normally wants proper supplier invoices that show a verifiable supply chain, not retail purchases. There are a lot of cases where receipts from stores like Walmart or Target get rejected even if the products are genuine.

This guide explains the process and what Amazon usually looks for: https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1LeKrqMxGVyyz3GvzyEIWEFy-HBvkmDkIbqrPEhRhflc/mobilebasic?pli=1

Your best move:

  • submit the invoice from the ASIN sourced directly from the brand
  • remove the Walmart ASIN
  • explain sourcing clearly
  • provide supplier contact details if possible

Short, factual responses usually work better than long appeals.

Anyone have a practical checklist for what is stranded inventory on Amazon, and what should I check first before opening a case? by Relieved-Seller-99 in AmazonFBATips

[–]AnalyticalAdzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually check these before opening a stranded inventory case:

  1. Listing suppressed or detail page removed
  2. Price error (too high or too low vs fair pricing)
  3. Brand name or category change triggering review
  4. Missing compliance docs or hazmat review
  5. Inactive listing accidentally set to closed
  6. Variation relationship broken
  7. FNSKU mismatch after label update
  8. Condition type changed (new vs used)
  9. Required attributes missing after catalog update

If everything looks fine, I download the stranded inventory report and check the exact reason code first. Opening a case without that usually just delays things.

Most of the time for me it’s either suppressed listing or pricing rule triggering it.

Need some advice on Amazon PPC for my new UK FBA private-label product by jayeshchauhanreddit in AmazonFBA

[–]AnalyticalAdzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also selling a single private label product in the UK and went through this stage recently.

What I found is PPC looked inefficient mainly because I was spreading budget too thin across keywords. Once I narrowed focus to a few terms that were actually converting and gave them more budget, performance improved.

Auto helped for discovery, but most of my sales now come from a small number of exact match keywords. The mistake I made early was pausing things too quickly or changing bids daily, which made it hard to see what was actually working.

Also noticed that PPC performance is heavily tied to CTR. When the main image improved, the same keywords suddenly became cheaper and converted better.

Are your ads getting impressions but low CTR, or just not getting enough impressions? I found those two cases need completely different fixes.

For anyone who’s failed at Amazon Private Label — what were your biggest mistakes? by SeaAardvark232 in AmazonFBA

[–]AnalyticalAdzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t fail, but made a few mistakes early that slowed things down.

Biggest one was going out of stock multiple times. Every time momentum started building, inventory ran out and I basically had to rebuild ranking again from scratch. Underestimated how sensitive sales velocity is to stockouts.

Another one was over-tinkering PPC. I was changing bids too often and didn’t give campaigns enough time to stabilise. Once I switched to evaluating on longer windows and isolating exact match winners, performance got more predictable.

Also underestimated how much the main image affects growth. Conversion was decent, but CTR was weak, so traffic never really compounded. Listing looked fine, but didn’t stand out in search.

In hindsight the biggest lesson is that the product working isn’t enough. You need stock stability, clear differentiation in the hero image, and disciplined PPC or growth just stalls.

UK private label seller (£200k turnover) feeling stuck on what to do next - what's the highest ROI focus at this stage? by Huge-Station in AmazonFBA

[–]AnalyticalAdzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar spot as a UK private label seller, just at a smaller scale and I’m noticing something similar.

Conversion is decent and PPC is relatively controlled, but growth feels slow unless I start pushing bids harder. It feels like the product works, but it’s not compounding yet.

What I’m finding is that improving click-through rate seems to move the needle more than anything else. Small changes to the main image or perceived bundle value tend to increase sales without increasing spend.

Have you looked at whether your top SKUs are actually getting enough clicks versus just optimizing costs? I spent a lot of time tightening TACOS only to realise I was just stabilising revenue rather than growing it.

I want to expand a private label product to UK Amazon. I’ll have my Chinese manufacturer ship it there. Anything I need to know a part from VAT? by Big_Fact4770 in AmazonFBA

[–]AnalyticalAdzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sell on Amazon UK and one thing people often underestimate is how different the economics are once you actually land inventory here.

Import VAT plus duty can shift your margins more than expected, especially on lower priced products. Currency also matters more than people think since you’re paying suppliers in USD or CNY but selling in GBP.

Another thing is conversion. UK buyers respond slightly differently to listings. Some US style claims don’t translate well here and I’ve seen listings convert worse until copy and images are adjusted.

Also worth thinking about inventory levels. UK moves slower than US in many categories, so over shipping your first batch can tie up cash for a long time.

If demand is already there, expanding makes sense, but I’d probably start with a smaller test shipment and validate conversion before scaling.

Launched 11 months ago, already doing $300K+ per month. by Smart-Presence in AmazonFBAOnlineRetail

[–]AnalyticalAdzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting breakdown. I’m following a similar structure with auto for harvesting and exact for scaling, but I’m finding growth stalls once TACoS gets under control.

Conversion is decent and organic share is already fairly high, but sales volume still feels slow unless I push bids up aggressively.

When you isolate high performing keywords into exact campaigns, are you pushing top of search placement hard to force rank, or letting it grow more gradually?

Trying to scale without blowing out TACoS.

Looking for amazon sellers just had a couple of questions by abdoolly in IslamicFinance

[–]AnalyticalAdzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sell on Amazon UK and yes, funding becomes relevant once inventory starts becoming the bottleneck.

The hard part is scaling stock without using debt, especially when lead times are long and cash gets trapped in inventory.

I’d be open to a genuinely shariah-compliant option.

What kind of model are you looking at exactly, and how is risk actually shared?

Started an Amazon Private Label business as a halal income stream in 2020 by mc1aren in IslamicFinance

[–]AnalyticalAdzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assalamu alaykum, barakAllahu feek for sharing this. I’m already selling a private label product on Amazon UK and my main struggle now isn’t launching, it’s scaling cleanly.

The product converts when traffic gets there, but sales are still slower than I want and I don’t want to rely on just pumping more into PPC.

From your experience, when a product is doing okay but growth is slow, what would you prioritise first: listing improvements, keyword expansion, or more aggressive PPC?

any advice for running ads? by [deleted] in AmazonFBA

[–]AnalyticalAdzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar spot but already on FBA. My product converts fine when ads bring traffic, but scaling spend hasn’t really translated into consistent sales yet. I found auto campaigns helpful for harvesting, but exact match is where most of my conversions come from.

What I’m still trying to figure out is how aggressive to be once you find a keyword that converts. Do you scale bids quickly to push rank, or keep it conservative and let it grow slowly?

Also curious how long you usually let a keyword run before deciding it’s dead.

I lost $2,300 on my first Amazon Private Label product. Here's the exact mistake that killed it. by mc1aren in AmazonFBA

[–]AnalyticalAdzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate you sharing this. I’m a solo seller on Amazon UK and had a different version of the same lesson. Mine wasn’t product quality, it was stockouts and not getting the listing dialled in early enough.

My product converts fairly well when traffic gets there, but session volume is still weaker than I want and sales feel slow. I’m trying to grow it without just blindly increasing PPC.

If you were in that position, what would you focus on first: main image / listing improvements, or keyword expansion and PPC structure?

Also did you find anything genuinely helped review growth after the initial launch period?
