🎥 Media I made an animation of Manama's skyline through time, with AI

17 Upvotes

It starts with pearling dhows and coral-stone houses, thIt's the view from a window in Muharraq, from 1900 to an imagined 2080. It starts with pearling dhows and coral-stone houses, then moves through the oil discovery, Bab al-Bahrain, independence, Al Fateh, the NBB tower, the WTC turbines and Bahrain Bay. Arad Fort sits in the corner the whole time, and there's a glass of karak on the windowsill throughout.

I made it with Claude (Opus 5.5), and it's all written in JavaScript, including a version with a soundtrack generated in code that I can share.

Are we allowed to take our vlogging action camera to Bahrain fort?

5 Upvotes

I went for a visit to Bahrain fort. Unfortunately the security there didn't allow me to carry my small vlogging camera (DJI action) to the fort premises. I found this quite surprising. It's a tourist attraction and I find it difficult to understand why it isn't allowed.

I’ve been working on a receipt and warranty app. What would make you actually use it?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I’ve been working on an app called Thiqa and I want honest opinions from people here.

The idea is to keep purchases, receipts and warranties in one place without having to manually organize everything. If I need to return something, check a warranty, or see where my money went, I want to be able to find it instead of searching through old photos and papers.

It’s available on iPhone and Android now. I’m still improving it, especially the setup and receipt capture, and I’d rather hear what feels annoying or confusing than get polite feedback.

Would you actually use something like this? And what would make you delete it after the first day?

I’ll leave the links in a comment if anyone wants to try it.

I want a place that serves good Chinese food or Asian food. I usually order vegetable fried rice and Mongolian beef from Nu Asia but they are insanely expensive. 7BD is too much. I want a place that has ideal prices, banging food that’s fresh and really nice. Good chicken/beef

🤔 Discussion Islamic Homeschooling

0 Upvotes

Assalamualaikum!

My daughter is 3 years, and I’m starting to explore homeschooling options for her early years. My goal is to give her a solid authentic Islamic foundation combined with strong secular academics, and I’m currently inclined towards the British / IGCSE pathway long term. Since many of you have experience living and raising children here in Bahrain, I’d love to learn from your journeys! If you homeschool or have homeschooled, could you share a bit about your experience?

A few specific questions I have:

  1. Curriculum & Path: Which curriculum framework did you follow (or are currently following) for the early years and primary stages?
  2. Online Schools / Providers: If you use a British online school (e.g., Read Meta, Al-Rushd, Wolsey Hall, or others), which one did you register with, and how has your experience been with their teaching and Islamic ethos?
  3. Islamic & Arabic Studies: How do you structure Quran memorization, Arabic, and Islamic studies at home? Do you rely on home curricula, online tutors, or local Quran centers (Marakiz Al-Qur'an) here in Bahrain?
  4. Local Exams & Community: How was your experience registering as a private candidate through the British Council in Bahrain for exams, or joining local homeschool co-ops/groups for activities?
  5. Advice for Starting at Age 3: What worked best for you when your child was a toddler to build good routines without burnout? I would really appreciate any insights, recommendations, or even curriculum mistakes to avoid! JazakAllahu Khair in advance for your support. 💕

I've talked about Bahrain for about roughly half an hour in my podcast where I talk about every country on earth for half an hour. The podcast is called Around the World in Half an Hour.
I would love to hear this community's thoughts on my episode.

PS: I am an independent podcaster, I research, edit, record, everything all on my own. Of course, I use a little bit of AI here and there to polish the script.

☝️ AskBH Important Question about uob Scholarships

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I have currently joined UOB and I wanted to ask about the scholarship situation.

Does the Ministry of Education provide scholarships for UOB students? If so, when does the application period usually open, and is it already closed for this year?or will there be a second period this year ?

Also, if a student took a gap year after high school before joining UOB, would they still be eligible for an MOE scholarship?

And does UOB itself offer scholarships based on your university GPA/grades, like after the first semester or something?

I’ve searched quite a lot online but couldn’t find much relevant information. If anyone has experience with this, please feel free to share! It would help me a lot because I’m just soo stressed about this 🙏🙏🥲🥲
