Hey Product Hunt I m Khalid. I m 18, a Nigerian student studying in Shenyang, and for the past while I ve been building a social app called ProxyWorld completely on my own the iOS app, the backend, real-time chat, voice messages, video, all of it. No team, no funding, just me learning each piece as I go. ProxyWorld is a space to share moments and actually connect with people, without the pressure of performing for an algorithm. It s still early and rough in places that s honestly the fun part. I m not here to hard-sell it. I m here because the people on Product Hunt have built and shipped things, and I d genuinely value your perspective on a few things: For those who ve built consumer social apps what was the one thing that actually moved the needle on early growth? What made you stick with an early-stage app you tried, versus deleting it after a day? If you want to poke around, it s on TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/joi... but no pressure. Mostly I d just love the wisdom. Thanks for reading
