I'm 12. I paused KODA Browser to try something I've never done before.
0 views

I was building KODA Browser.
Android project.
WebView.
Custom home screen.
Search.
GitHub shortcuts.
It was starting to become a real browser.
And then I paused it.
Not because it failed.
I paused it because I realized something:
I've built a lot of things.
But I haven't really tested whether I can sell what I build.
So I'm changing the experiment.
I'm going to build websites for real businesses.
Not another demo.
Not another "coming soon" SaaS.
A real website that someone can look at and say:
"Yeah, I'll pay for this."
My first targets:
Restaurants
Salons
Gyms
Tuition centres
Local shops
Small businesses
I'll build the first website, put it online, find businesses that need something similar, and start reaching out.
And I'm keeping track of everything.
How many people I contact.
How many reply.
How many say no.
How many actually want the website.
And, most importantly, whether anyone pays.
Because getting 20 reactions on a post is cool.
Getting ₹1,000 from something I coded would teach me a lot more.
KODA Browser isn't cancelled.
It's paused.
For now, I'm running a different experiment:
Can I turn code into my first real client?
I'll post the result — even if the result is zero.
Let's find out. 🫡
