RajGuruYadav··on I'm a 16-Year-Old Self-Taught Developer – Built 700 Projects
Thank you! Honestly, my ideas come from observing problems around me — whether it's something annoying online or a missing feature in a tool I use. I also like building things for fun, so sometimes I just mix random technologies or trends and see what comes out of it.

Thanks for asking! Out of the 700+ projects I’ve built (mostly for learning, experimenting, and exploring new ideas):

About 4–5 projects are still live, mostly on CodePen, and I also upload my work regularly on GitHub. Around 10–12 projects got real user engagement — through local communities, developer groups, or niche forums. A few tools (like my AI Blob app and some Firebase-based student tools) are still used by friends and classmates. Most of the projects were quick experiments — 1–2 day builds that helped me understand and master new technologies. The goal wasn’t to make each project viral — it was to build, learn, and improve with every iteration.

Right now, I’m shifting focus toward quality and scalability, refining the best ideas into open-source tools that can actually help others.
