I'm building a Muslim-owned PaaS (Vercel alternative)

We all know Vercel's position when it comes to Muslims and their causes so I am taking the initiative to build a Muslim-owned hosting provider.

I have somewhat of a working alpha version today. I need your help to test it and to see if there's any interest in it.

It currently only supports Next.js projects. Vite is coming very soon.

If you want to try it out DM me or comment below. I appreciate any feedback

Built a local Muslim media + app in my city — how to grow & monetize it?

Salam everyone,

I recently started a local media project for Muslims in my city. The idea is simple: share useful, relevant content for the community.

Right now, I’m posting:

  • Local news
  • Events (Islamic events, community gatherings, etc.)

On top of that, I built a mobile app that includes:

  • Listings (grocery stores, restaurants, mosques ...)
  • Events
  • News
  • Job opportunities

Basically, I’m trying to create a small ecosystem for Muslims locally.

Now I’m at the stage where I’m asking myself two big questions:

1. Growth:
How would you promote something like this locally?

2. Monetization:
What would be the best way to monetize this without hurting the user experience?

If anyone here has built something similar (community-based app, directory, or media), I’d really appreciate your advice.

Jazakum Allahu khayran
