this is how I started Xedge from 0

I'm Harsha and i'm from india , once i'm in college i was obsessed with this ai tool market when i tried to use them so many questions ,

• which tool is better ?

-does hype really matches that output ?

• is there any underrated tool that i'm missing

i just become from obsessed to overwhelmed and then i got an idea like what if there is a guide to tell me , but when i clearly did research there are already a bunch of tools directories out there like the futurepedia , there is an ai for that , etc . i noticed that all they do is like dumb a ton of tools and describe about them . that doesn't make any sense to me . i asked myself " is there a better way of organisation rather than dumping tools ?". then i thought about an ai ecosystem , where they'll get ai tools , stacks , professional prompts , automations , templetes , agents , api's , and i even imagined a interface within it where they can build their custom software by using open sources . they are not only going to buy the templetes from others they can build and sell them too . simply a places where people can access everything related to ai at one place where you can buy , sell and create custom for your own .

i think about it like an ai paradise . but at that point i really don't know how to code , i only know the c language . then just did some research got the elite sources to learn html , css and js i got the documentations in 1 tab and the videos in another and opened vs code for practice . in less than a month i've learned css , html , java script , python and MYSQL .

Then I heard about ai open source high end models writing code for free . Im like " damm i have to use this free 1 time usage " i explained almost everything related to xedge i imagined about and it just gave me a single vibe coded home page , i'm very dissapointed at that point because i thought it might build a whole website for me . then my inner voice kicked in and told me " you have the skills , just do it " , i used that same colour pallete generated by ai and created like 4 pages and learned a lot of stuff in that building phase , and it became very easy but time taking process , then i get to know about claude , gpt , and a bunch of other tools .

I used them to write code faster and after it done doing things i'll check all the code based on my knowledge and do corrections if i want , that is how i built the my ideas first prototype .

then i increased my connections mastered marketing certainly the organic marketing and the SEO game , i did a lot of research and learned a lot of stuff , the on i've been grinding on gaining knowledge among tech side and distribution side while building the product , i put all my efforts and now i have over 600+ users in my platform and i spent almost 0$ ( except for the domain ) .

even though i havent made a single penny from my skills or from my product , I'm really proud to myself for doing all this in less than 3 months and starting from 0 and spending 0 . And i believe i could really get my xedge to its final phase and gnerate the real revenue ,
