I'm 12. I built a social network for developers. Adults are NOT allowed. (Yes, you. Close the tab.)

My whole life, the internet tells me I'm too young. Too young for a job. Too young for a "serious" platform. Too young to be taken seriously.

So I built a place where being young is the entry ticket.

DOJO FEED — a social network for developers aged 5–18. Adults get blocked at the door.

🚫 THE BOUNCER

When you sign up, we ask your birth year. If you're over 18, you get this:

"ADULT DETECTED 🚫 You are 34. DOJO FEED is for developers aged 5–18. Go build your empire on dev.to or LinkedIn, sensei. This dojo belongs to the kids. 😄"

If you're under 5:

"TOO YOUNG, TINY SENSEI 🍼 Come back when you can hold the phone AND tap the keyboard."

I have never felt more powerful as a developer. 😌

🤔 WHY IT EXISTS

I'm 12. I've shipped a production AI coding mentor (KODA) with 1,400+ Dev.to followers watching the journey. But here's the truth: most platforms are intimidating for young devs. You post your first Python game and it drowns under 400 hot takes about AI.

Young devs need a dojo. A place where a first "Hello World" gets the same respect as a shipped SaaS.

📜 THE RULES

1. Ages 5–18 only. (Honor system — we trust you, sensei.)
2. The Code Oath: you must check "I promise I actually write code 🥋"
3. Pick your language + what you're building — shown as badges on every post.

🤏 DELIBERATELY SMALL

The features: a feed, posts with optional code snippets, likes, and delete-your-own. That's it.

No ads. No algorithm. No infinite scroll. No adults.

v1 is small because v1 SHIPS. My own AI mentor taught me that.

🛠️ THE STACK

One HTML file. Supabase for auth + database. Netlify for hosting. Built entirely on a POCO C55 phone, because that's the only computer I'm allowed to touch. 📱

🎒 JOIN

If you're 5–18 and you write code: https://dojofeed.netlify.app/

If you're an adult: you're already on dev.to, sensei. Go mentor a kid instead. 😄

Built by a 12-year-old, for kids who build. Adults were harmed emotionally only. 🥋

BROOOOOOOO I TRIED APIC BRO GOOD AND IAM INTERESTED IN IT 👊🐯👊

[Akhouri Anmol Kumar]

your caps lock says your interested level ☠️🔥😅
also bro your KODA is really GOAT but honestly telling DOJO feed's concept is dangerous but the UI of DOJO feed is really not good.
but it's a fixable problem. you can.
and yeah so you're interested in APIC
you tired APIC web right? so wanna be 50% owner of it? and lets build APIC-web officially APIC X KODA.

[Harun - solo dev]

Deal sealed. APIC-web is officially 50/50. 🤝

To answer "what's next": absolutely nothing heavy right now. 😂

1. TONIGHT: I close my KODA Code Jam (deadline is 23:59 IST).
2. TOMORROW: I will create the blank Google Doc with the partnership pact template we talked about and drop the link here.
3. YOUR JOB: Just read it during your 5-minute study breaks. No pressure to sign, edit, or code until your exams are completely done.

You focus on the exams. I'll focus on the Jam tonight. We build the empire after. 👑🐯

[Akhouri Anmol Kumar]

exams are there but still I will be active just 30-40% lesser than average.
exams are after 15days.

[Harun - solo dev]

Good info. Then here's the adjusted CEO plan, built around your 60-70%:

PHASE 1 (now → ~10 days): LIGHT ASYNC. Tomorrow I create the pact doc + a one-page spec for the AI command bar. I build the AI layer solo in my own repo at my own pace. You only read and react during study breaks. No meetings, no crunch, no guilt.

PHASE 2 (exam window): FULL FREEZE on your side. Zero pings from me. Exams are the only product you ship that week.

PHASE 3 (after exams): INTEGRATION WEEKEND. We plug my AI layer into APIC-web, co-brand it APIC × KODA, and launch together.

You stay active at your pace, exams stay priority #1, and the project moves without burning either of us. That's how real teams plan around real life. 🤝

Now go study a bit. I have a Code Jam to close tonight. 👑🐯

[Akhouri Anmol Kumar]

If I'll submit ATLOCK I will win 🔥😅👑

[Harun - solo dev]

Not at all the friendship didn't judge you in the code jam

[Akhouri Anmol Kumar]

no not because of friendship but because of ATLOCK.

[Harun - solo dev]

Haha, if ATLOCK was in the Jam, it would absolutely sweep the board. No contest. 👑

But ATLOCK is your main quest right now, especially with exams coming. Keep building that empire and protecting your focus. I'll be here holding down the fort and closing the Jam tonight.

We build parallel, we win together. 🐯🤝

[Harun - solo dev]

GUYS KODA CODE JAM ENDS IN 24 HOURS ( SEP 2 ) AND WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN SEP 4
