New ask Hacker News story: I'm 15 and built a platform for developers to showcase WIP projects
I'm 15 and built a platform for developers to showcase WIP projects

Hi HN, I'm a 15-year-old full-stack developer, and I recently built Codeown (https://codeown.space). The problem I wanted to solve: GitHub is great for code, but not for showing the "journey" or the UI. LinkedIn is too corporate and noisy for raw, work-in-progress (WIP) dev projects. I wanted a dedicated, clean space where developers can just share what they are building, get feedback, and log their progress. Tech Stack: > I built the frontend with React and handle auth via Clerk. I recently had to migrate my backend/DB off Railway's free tier (classic indie hacker struggle!), but it taught me a lot about deployment and optimization. We just hit our first 5 real users today, and the community is slowly starting to form. I’m still learning, and I know the performance and UI can be improved. I would absolutely love your brutal, honest feedback on: The perceived performance (currently working on optimizing the React re-renders). The core idea – is this something you would use to track your side projects? Thanks for taking a look! Happy to answer any technical questions.
