I Built a 13,000-Title Arabic Streaming Guide in 4 Weeks With Claude AI

I built Shoof Aflam — an Arabic streaming guide with 13,400+ titles across 17 platforms — in under a month. The secret? I coded the entire thing with Claude (Anthropic's AI), pair-programming every component from data pipelines to SEO optimization. Here is the real, honest story. How It Started I had a simple problem: there was no Arabic equivalent of JustWatch. If you wanted to know where to legally watch an Arabic movie or series, you had to check every platform manually. No centralized guide existed. Instead of spending months planning architecture, I opened Claude Code and started building. The entire project — from first commit to 13,400 indexed titles — took about 4 weeks of intensive pair-programming sessions. The Stack (Built With Claude) Next.js 16 with full static export — ~7,000 pre-rendered HTML pages TypeScript 5 strict mode Tailwind CSS 4 for RTL-first Arabic design Python 3 scripts for TMDB/YouTube/Wikipedia data collection 129 Vitest tests enforced as pre-build gate Ngi
