Helbing World

Problem

Readers wanted a calm, Arabic-first space for weekly blogs, podcasts, and creative exercises, while the business needed accounts, subscriptions, and gated premium content.

What I built

Full frontend for Helbing World (freelance / project-based): a polished, on-brand experience with RTL-native layouts, auth, paywalled content, and rich editorial pages.

Key features

• •End-to-end UI in Next.js and Tailwind with RTL tuned for long-form Arabic reading
• •Login, sign-up, and password reset flows
• •Subscription and paywall patterns that gate exclusive weekly content behind accounts
• •Dynamic routing for articles, podcast episodes, translated dialogues, and related content templates
• •Responsive layout consistent with brand identity across devices
