Could you build this?
Partial The UI and search interface are simple, but creating a comprehensive Arabic poetry reference requires a large, curated, digitized corpus of classical Arabic poems along with poetic meter (arud) analysis algorithms.
What it would actually take: The core system would use a relational/vector search database (PostgreSQL + pgvector) indexing classical and modern Arabic poetry tagged with meter, rhyme, and era. It requires custom NLP rule sets or fine-tuned sequence models to handle Arabic diacritics and scan meters according to the 16 classical Khalil meter rules. The hard part is acquiring and accurately annotating the vast corpus of poetry.
