Hi, I’m Shaheen Amjad, a full-stack web developer. I have more experience with back-end APIs, having two years of experience in both back-end and front-end, but I like APIs more.
What do I need?
The experience I’ve gained over the past two years has been in the projects I’ve created, which are huge. I’ve also created a project similar to Shopify ( it was my first project btw ).
I’ve created many projects, but why? Because no one has interviewed me. I’ve also tried freelancing, but no one has contacted me! I’m 16 years old, and I only have internet access and a laptop (4GB RAM, Intel Core i3 processor).
I don’t have any money, and I want to profit from the things I love, just like the guys I found on YouTube when they publish their SaaS projects. What I need from you all is for you to give me your requests, your ideas, everything. I’m really exhausted from looking for opportunities and ideas. I’ve built three APIs, and they haven’t worked. I’ve marketed them on social media, but no one has shown interest. So, I’m responsible for the requests, because I don’t know what needs to be solved. So, I said I can come here and ask people for requests or needs to create projects.
Whatever your specialty…
please give me some ideas. If you’re a developer, please provide me with any ideas you can think of.
If you have an idea, you don’t need a database. That would be even better because I don’t have any money to buy one.
thanks for everyone

I totally get where you're coming from - it's tough to spot what people want. Maybe try building free-to-use API wrappers for popular public services and share them on GitHub, it's a great way to get visibility without hosting costs. Curious what public APIs or topics you like most working with?
Of course I will, and I love doing new things, so I can try to build anything, I just don't have some specific topics to build
this is extremely impressive, honestly. i remember being right there at your age, building for the love of it. have you ever tried looking at problems in your own daily life that bug you? you think your best project will come from your own struggles instead of trying to solve someone else’s
Thank you for your nice comment, I will take your advice of course, thank you very much
You should write the blogs about yourself, about dev journey, about what you learned and about the things thaamt you built. Share your projects by writing blogs. Make the connections with developers and organizationd and make the Dev Friends.
And don’t worry about sustenance or money. What God has written in your fate will definitely reach you—no one can stop it. Move forward, build connections with people, and always stay friendly.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your advices and will use it, thank you so much
Thank you too
