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.
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. 😌
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 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.
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. 📱
If you're 5–18 and you write code: **[PASTE YOUR DOJO FEED NETLIFY URL HERE]**
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. 🥋
