Every new platform has weaknesses.
For Project Epika, the key challenges are:
– Building an audience
– Balancing openness with quality
– Monetization
– Legal risks
– Scaling tech
These aren’t setbacks, just problems to solve.
Project Epika
A platform I am developing for storytelling and creativity from manga, Novels to illustrators, writers, and artists A social media where creators and readers meet
Scope: creator profiles, publishing, collaboration, community learning resources fair moderation etc
Because of our consistency, real software engineers stepped in to support us. They teach React, give us chances to join projects, and even allow us to experience enterprise-level development. Consistency opened those doors.
Now we have incredible supporters: a YouTuber who’s a software engineer & machine learning researcher, an engineer from Learn With Sumit, mentors and instructors from Hablu Programmer, and the founder of SeraUi. Plus engineers from 15+ countries. A true global network.
We all start chasing followers.
But over time, it shifts.
It’s not about numbers anymore.
It’s about real people. Real convos.
A few good connections >> 1000 ghost followers.
Shoutout to those who made this journey feel less alone. You matter more than metrics. 💙
#DevJourney
I don’t follow the growth hacks.
I don’t obsess over impressions.
I build slow.
I post when it feels right.
I engage when it’s meaningful.
Some call it inefficient.
I call it sustainable.
I’m not here to be seen.
I’m here to connect

Getting better isn’t about talent. It’s about reps:
(Focus × Time) + Intentional Practice = Skill Growth
Stop chasing shortcuts. Show up every day.
Your only competition is the you from yesterday.
Mastery is simple: commit, practice, repeat.
You Scroll and
Someone gained 10k followers.
Someone made $5K in a week.
Someone landed a dream job.
Meanwhile,
You're learning.
Practicing
No virality
No big wins yet
Just silent progress brick by brick
This is the phase they don’t show
But it’s the one that matters most
Everyone follow, like, comment, repeat to grow on X.
But here’s what I’m doing differently:
I’m focusing on sharing my unique perspective real stories, honest thoughts, and value only I can give.
No chasing trends or playing algorithms.
Growth comes when you’re genuinely you
Everyone says: comment early on big accounts to grow.
I do the opposite.
I focus on smaller, active accounts — they engage genuinely, reply, and often return the favor if my content adds value.
Building real connections > chasing clout.
Growth that lasts starts with community
We are like fireworks, we rise, we climb, we shine, and we go our separate ways.
Lately, I’ve felt it.
The friends I used to build with… are building without me now.
They’re deep into React, in meetings, growing as a team.
And I’m here --- still figuring out JavaScript.
I’m back!
After 8–9 days of battling a nasty fever and feeling completely drained, I’m finally recovered.
The break wasn’t planned but sometimes, your body forces you to rest before you burn out.
Health first, always.
Now I’m back—refreshed, recharged, and ready to continue
Started working out for the first time, but pushed way too hard. Now my hands are useless, my throat’s sore, and I’m down with a cold.
Overdoing the grind on workouts and code took a toll on my health.
Lesson: Growth is important, but health comes first.

#BuildInPublic#DevJourney
5:00 AM. Just pushed my code to GitHub.
No sleep. Just pure grind.
Been working all night on:
💻 My portfolio project
🌍 A travel landing page (practice project)
Now crashing 😴
When I wake up:
→ CSS recap
→ JavaScript deep dive
Progress isn’t always pretty — but it’s real
Today’s Dev Recap :
🕐 1hr+ CSS review
flexbox, spacing, layouts.
🕐 1hr JavaScript
learned about logical operators (&&, ||, !)
Small steps. Solid reps.
It’s not about speed, it’s about showing up daily.
