Built Xedge at 18 alone with 0$ spend overall

I'm Harsha and I'm from India , once I'm in college I was obsessed with this ai tool market when I tried to use them so many questions ,

• which tool is better ?

-does hype really matches that output ?

• is there any underrated tool that I'm missing

i just become from obsessed to overwhelmed and then I got an idea like what if there is a guide to tell me , but when I clearly did research there are already a bunch of tools directories out there like the futurepedia , there is an ai for that , etc . i noticed that all they do is like dumb a ton of tools and describe about them . that doesn't make any sense to me . I asked myself " is there a better way of organisation rather than dumping tools ?". then I thought about an ai ecosystem , where they'll get ai tools , stacks , professional prompts , automations , templates , agents , api's , and I even imagined a interface within it where they can build their custom software by using open sources . they are not only going to buy the templates from others they can build and sell them too . simply a places where people can access everything related to ai at one place where you can buy , sell and create custom for your own .

i think about it like an ai paradise . but at that point i really don't know how to code , i only know the c language . then just did some research got the elite sources to learn html , css and js i got the documentations in 1 tab and the videos in another and opened vs code for practice . in less than a month I've learned CSS , html , java script , python and MYSQL .

Then I heard about ai open source high end models writing code for free . Im like " damm I have to use this free 1 time usage " I explained almost everything related to xedge i imagined about and it just gave me a single vibe coded home page , I'm very disappointed at that point because I thought it might build a whole website for me . then my inner voice kicked in and told me " you have the skills , just do it " , i used that same colour pallete generated by ai and created like 4 pages and learned a lot of stuff in that building phase , and it became very easy but time taking process , then I get to know about claude , gpt , and a bunch of other tools .

I used them to write code faster and after it done doing things I'll check all the code based on my knowledge and do corrections if I want , that is how I built the my ideas first prototype .

then I increased my connections mastered marketing certainly the organic marketing and the SEO game , I did a lot of research and learned a lot of stuff , the on I've been grinding on gaining knowledge among tech side and distribution side while building the product , i put all my efforts and now i have over 600+ users in my platform and I spent almost 0$ ( except for the domain ) .

even though I haven't made a single penny from my skills or from my product , I'm really proud to myself for doing all this in less than 3 months and starting from 0 and spending 0 . And I believe I could really get my Xedge to its final phase and generate the real revenue ,
