🚨 ANNOUNCING: The First Ever "KODA Code Jam"!

🚨 ANNOUNCING: The First Ever "KODA Code Jam"!

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm Harun, the 12-year-old solo dev who built KODA (an AI coding mentor) entirely on my Android phone.

I've seen so many beginners asking "How do I start a project?" or "What should I build?" in the comments. So, I'm launching a challenge to prove that anyone can build something useful with AI help!

🏆 THE CHALLENGE: "KODA CODE JAM"

Mission: Build a Single-Page Useful Website for a Niche Market.

Examples of Niche Markets:

  • 🐕 Dog Walkers (e.g., a walking route tracker)
  • 🎮 Gamers (e.g., a loot calculator)
  • ☕ Baristas (e.g., a tip splitter)
  • 📚 Students (e.g., a flashcard generator)

Rules:

  1. Your site must be single-page (HTML/CSS/JS).
  2. You MUST use KODA (my AI mentor) to write 50% of code minimum. Show us what you asked KODA!
  3. Submit your live link (Netlify/Vercel) or GitHub repo.

🎁 THE PRIZES:

🥇 Winner:

  • CHAMPION STATUS FOREVER in KODA (Exclusive Cyan Theme 👑, 2x AI Memory, Pro Sensei Mode!)
  • Featured Interview on my Dev.to blog (Read by 577+ followers!)
  • Shoutout on my socials.

🥈 Runner-Ups: Special "Code Jam Participant" badge on your KODA profile.

📅 TIMELINE:

  • Start: TOMORROW (Aug 27, 2026)
  • Deadline: Sept 2, 2026 (7 Days)
  • Winner Announcement: Sept 4, 2026

🛠️ HOW TO JOIN:

  1. Sign up for KODA here: https://koda-aicodementor.netlify.app/
  2. Start asking KODA: "How do I build a tip calculator for waiters?"
  3. Build your site.
  4. Submit your link in the comments below!

Why join?
Because coding isn't about memorizing syntax; it's about solving problems. And KODA is here to help you solve them faster than ever.

Let's see what this community can build! 💪🔥
