i built spiderhack

I’ve been working solo on something called Spiderhack, a learning platform that teaches hacking, programming, and CTF-style problem solving — especially aiming to make this kind of content actually usable on Android, which often gets ignored.

Right now, it has:

-Python, C++, and CTF engines

-100+ structured lessons

-A 1v1 arena where users race to solve challenges

I’m currently running under some constraints (no domain or paid infra yet — not a grown member of society ), so everything’s being held together while I focus on stability, learning flow, and growth before monetization.

What I’d love feedback on from other builders:

-How to best frame Spiderhack’s value for early users and devs

-When it makes sense to look for funding or partnerships

-Any good free channels to grow awareness (currently experimenting with Reddit + Discord)

It’s been a wild solo dev ride so far — I’d really appreciate some perspective from people who’ve gone through early-stage SaaS building
