Solo founder building India's social app

About

I'm Pratik, a solo bootstrapped founder from India. Four years ago I started building Linkyards β€” a social media app made in India, for India. No VC money, no co-founder, just a belief that Indians deserve a platform that's actually theirs. It's been a long road with plenty of doubts. But I kept building β€” and recently shipped a complete UI redesign and real-time Direct Messaging. Linkyards isn't trying to be the next Twitter or Instagram. It's something quieter: no ads, no data mining, your data stays in India, and you control your experience. My goal is simple β€” build something 50,000 people genuinely love. Not viral, not funded, just real. If you've ever rooted for the underdog, I'd love your support.
