by Sebastian Müller 53 views

Hey guys! Today, we're diving deep into a super cool project idea: a Quran Memorization Scheduler. This isn't just any app; it's a comprehensive tool designed to help you, your students, or anyone who wants to memorize and revise the Quran more effectively. We'll break down the entire project, from the initial concept to the technical requirements, making it super clear and easy to follow.

Product Requirements Document (PRD) Overview

Let's start with the Product Requirements Document (PRD). Think of this as the blueprint for our project. It outlines everything we need to know, from the product's name and goals to its features and technical specifications. This PRD ensures we're all on the same page and helps guide the development process.

Product Name: Quran Memorization Scheduler

First up, the name: Quran Memorization Scheduler. Simple, right? It tells you exactly what the app does. This clarity is crucial for attracting the right users and setting the stage for the app's purpose.

Overview: A Personalized Quran Memorization Tool

The overview is where we describe the app's core function. Our app is a web application designed to help you create, manage, and track personalized Quran memorization and revision schedules. It's all about balancing new memorization with regular revision to optimize retention. The app will use a local MongoDB database, a Node.js backend, and a React frontend. This tech stack is perfect for creating a responsive and efficient web application.

Target Users: Who Will Use This App?

Knowing your target users is key to building a successful product. Our app is aimed at:

  • Quran students striving to memorize or revise the Quran systematically.
  • Teachers and mentors guiding students through memorization.
  • Anyone who wants to track, plan, and optimize their Quran memorization progress.

By focusing on these groups, we can tailor the app's features and design to meet their specific needs. It's like creating a custom-fit solution for memorizing the Quran!

Goals: What Are We Trying to Achieve?

The goals of our app are straightforward but impactful:

  • Provide a daily schedule for Quran memorization and revision, optimized to your current level.
  • Ensure regular revision of previously memorized content, especially what's already memorized perfectly – that's super important for long-term retention!
  • Dynamically adjust the schedule as your memorization improves. This keeps the learning curve challenging but manageable.
  • Enable tracking and updating of memorization levels per surah (chapter) or page. Think of it as your personal Quran progress tracker!

These goals will shape the app's functionality and ensure it delivers real value to users.

Core Features: What Makes This App Special?

Let's dive into the specific features that will make our Quran Memorization Scheduler a must-have tool.

1. Surah/Pages Status Management: Tracking Your Progress

This feature is all about visualizing your progress. It will:

  • Display a list of all surahs with both English and Arabic names. This makes it accessible to a wide range of users.
  • Allow you to specify your memorization status for each page of each surah. The statuses will be:
    • Perfect: You've nailed it!
    • Medium: You're getting there, but need some work.
    • Bad: Needs significant review.
    • Not memorized: Haven't started on this yet.
  • For long surahs, you'll be able to select the status per page, giving you granular control over your progress tracking.

This feature provides a clear overview of your memorization journey, highlighting areas that need more attention.

2. Schedule Generator: Your Personalized Learning Plan

This is the heart of the app! The Schedule Generator takes several inputs:

  • Surahs/pages categorized by memorization status (perfect, medium, bad, not memorized).
  • The amount of new material you want to memorize per day (in pages).
  • The number of days you want to create the schedule for.

And it generates a daily memorization schedule with some really smart features:

  • Daily breakdown: Each day's schedule includes:
    • 60% revision from material you've memorized perfectly. This reinforces your strongest areas.
    • 15% revision from material you've memorized at a medium level. This helps solidify those areas.
    • 10-20% new material from the beginning of the next surah/page you haven't memorized. Keeps you moving forward!
    • Always includes Al-Kahf on Friday (if memorized, revise; if not, read). Special emphasis on this important surah.
    • When a surah is longer than one page, scheduling is page-based for precision.
    • Large surahs (e.g., Al-Baqarah, Aale-Imran) may be split into logical sections (juz'/hizb/pages) to make them more manageable.
    • When revising a surah, the previous surah is included daily until the current new surah is completed. This ensures comprehensive revision.
    • The total daily amount adapts to finish all “memorized” content in 10 days. This keeps the revision cycle tight and effective.
