I'm a student and I just shipped my first product

Hi DEV 👋

I'm a student, still figuring most of this out, and I just put my first real product into the world. Writing this partly to introduce myself and partly because I'd genuinely love feedback from people who've shipped things before.

A bit about me: I basically live on GitHub and got pulled into crypto over the last couple of years. I'm not a pro dev yet. I learn by picking something I actually need, building it badly, then not being able to stop until it works.

The thing I built is called stablecard. The honest reason it exists: I hold stablecoins, and every time I went looking for a card to actually spend them, the "best card" lists were outdated, copied from marketing pages, or quietly stuffed with affiliate links. I couldn't find one place that just compared the cards honestly (fees, cashback, custody, which countries they work in). So I started a spreadsheet, and it slowly grew into a site.

It's live here if you want to poke at it: https://stablecard.pages.dev. It's still rough, and I'd really value any feedback, especially on what I got wrong (data, UX, whatever you'd tear apart).

What I want out of all this: keep learning in public, ship more, and get a bit better at the craft by hearing from people further along than me.

If you launched a first project before, what's the one thing you wish someone had told you? Thanks for reading.
