Meet the Founder
Musa Matini
Salam! I am the founder of Dimashqi Star. I build software with a small team, a big pot of tea and an unreasonable love for tidy code. The web should be fast, friendly and kind to everyone who visits, and that is the whole idea behind this place. Say hello anytime; we do not bite. Visit musa.matini.link
Why Choose Us
Speed. Fast even on unstable internet.
A visitor decides to stay or click away in the first few seconds. That is why many major companies spend huge budgets just to make their websites a little faster. We build and host the websites we work on using efficient methods and technologies, so they stay fast even on slow and unstable internet. One of the ways we do this is by optimizing the media we add, so it uses less data while still looking good. And that is only part of the work.
Optimization. Make the most of what we have.
We optimize the software we make not only to keep it light on unstable internet, but also to make it feel as smooth as possible on older hardware. We realize that many people cannot upgrade their devices, or simply choose not to, and we do our best to make sure the software we design works for them too.
Reliability. Online around the clock.
Zero downtime is not something anyone in software can promise. What we can promise is that we will do our best to make sure it never happens, and that it is kept to a minimum when it does. Every website we host is monitored, so an outage never goes unnoticed.
Halal. Sharia-compliant from A to Z.
Our work is kept halal and compliant with Islamic Sharia. We do not add prohibited content of any kind: no music or musical instruments in audio, no imagery of uncovered women, nothing that crosses the line. If a request would take us there, we say so with respect and suggest a clean alternative.
Peace. One less thing on your mind.
We realize that some businesses are not specialized in the online world, but they understand that they have to be present in it. That is why we always try to give you the best results with the least headache. You can hand this task over and go back to your business. Our team keeps watch and makes sure everything goes to plan.
Control. Everything is yours.
The design, the code, the content and the domain are yours from the first day. Nothing is locked to us, and if you ever want to move the site to another host or another team, you can, without asking anyone for permission. We are ready to hand over all the required information so the switch is as smooth as possible for you.
Payments. Pay the way that suits you.
Choose whatever is easiest for you. We accept many different payment methods, including ShamCash, cash in hand, a transfer through a Syrian exchange office such as Al-Haram, or even crypto, as long as it is a major cryptocurrency such as USDT.

Smart Vision: A Static Site for Engineering
SmartVision needed a home for thirty years of engineering work, five divisions and a partner network that reaches across the region. We built the site as a map of the group: every division has its own page, the portfolio is sorted by sector, and partner pages and contact routes branch out from the same structure. A visitor can start with a project, a sector or an office and still land in the right place.
SmartVision is an engineering group in Damascus working across healthcare, education, government, hospitality, industry and transport.

IVI: Project Funding Across Six Sectors
IVI needed one site that could introduce a group of companies to partners and investors at once. We built a corporate site around a single reading order: the headline figures at the top, then a numbered chapter for each of the six sectors the group funds and manages. A custom identity runs through every page, so the companies read as one group without losing their own place in it.
The IVI group is made up of four companies in Hong Kong, Sweden, the UK and Turkey, with projects in more than twenty countries.

MG Pet: A Catalog and Publishing Dashboard
MG Pet adds new preforms and masterbatches all the time, so the catalog had to be as easy to publish as it is to browse. We built it in three levels, with a staff dashboard behind the public pages: products are written in Markdown, published in one click, kept in a full version history and backed up as a single archive. The team can keep the catalog current without waiting on a developer, and every change stays reversible.
MG Pet produces PET bottles and preforms for bottlers, food producers and pharmaceutical packers.

WarpKey: A Hotkey Manager for macOS
WarpKey is a free, open source hotkey manager for macOS written in Swift. It lets you rebuild the shortcut layer app by app, with six shortcut types, per-window profiles and separate triggers for a press, a double press and a hold. Conflicts are flagged before they cause trouble, a cheatsheet hotkey puts the whole set one keystroke away, and profiles can be exported and imported.

Auffa: Trade and Finance Across Afro-Asia
Auffa is the public face of a union that works across two continents, and its site has to make a large institution feel legible. Membership figures sit at the top, each area of work gets its own section, and the programmes, councils and leadership that keep the organisation running have pages of their own. The scale is always visible, but the page never feels crowded by it.
The Afro-Asian Union for Finance and Business Affairs is the international economic forum of the Afro-Asian People's Solidarity Organisation, with ninety full member countries, seventeen associate members and eight specialised councils.

Ethermeet: A Private Video Meeting Platform
Ethermeet is a private video meeting platform for conversations that should not pass through third-party servers. It is built on LiveKit and self-hosted, so media is relayed through the platform's own server instead of an outside service. A room is just a link: no accounts, no installs. Connections repair themselves when the network shifts, screen sharing carries audio, and the call audio is tuned for speech. The whole platform runs on five runtime dependencies.
Etherlight runs its consulting work on Ethermeet, a platform built for private meetings.

Substratum VR: A Game Site Inside a CRT
Substratum VR is a game site built to feel like an old machine waking up. The whole experience sits inside a beige CRT monitor, with the navigation, the copy and the artwork all living on the screen. Dot-matrix type and scrolling KosaOS ticker bands frame the view, and three pages share the same frame without breaking the illusion.
Raventale Productions is the studio behind Substratum VR.
