From a Flop to 5 Upvotes — My Journey as a 16-Year-Old Developer 🚀

From a Flop to 5 Upvotes — My Journey as a 16-Year-Old Developer 🚀

Hey everyone 👋
I’m Prasoon Jadon, a 16-year-old developer from India.
Today I want to share a small but meaningful story — about failure, learning, and the joy of creating.

The Beginning: Bizkhata 💼

My first project was called Bizkhata.
I had big dreams for it — I worked hard, designed the UI, coded the backend, and launched it with full excitement.
But when I launched it… nobody cared.
No likes, no feedback, no stars.
Just silence.

At first, it hurt. I felt like I wasn’t good enough, that maybe my ideas didn’t matter.
But soon I realized something powerful —

Every “flop” is just the first draft of your success.

Bizkhata taught me how to launch, how to present, and most importantly — how to keep going.


The Rise: Vyoma 🌌

Months later, I started working on something bigger — a toolkit called Vyoma.
Vyoma means sky — and that’s what I wanted it to be: limitless.

After weeks of designing, coding, and refining, I launched Vyoma on Product Hunt.
This time… it felt different.

People noticed it.
Developers started visiting my site.
And soon, Vyoma got 5 upvotes on Product Hunt — my first ever real traction.


What I Learned ✨

  • Your first project might fail — that’s okay.
  • Keep building. Keep experimenting.
  • Every project, even a flop, teaches you something.
  • Believe in your next idea more than your last failure.

Today, I’m still learning. Still building.
Vyoma’s journey has just begun — and I can’t wait to see how far it flies 🚀


If you’re a young developer reading this:
Don’t stop after one failure.
Your next “flop” might be your biggest win in disguise.
