Building CodeHive 🚀

Sharing startup progress, backend engineering lessons, and freelancing experiments.

[Sanket Khedkar @SanketK120]

After a year away from X, I'm back.

Over the last year I've been building CodeHive, an online coding platform.

I'll be sharing:

• Product updates
• Engineering lessons
• Startup mistakes
• Freelancing experiments
Let's see where this goes.

We turned an idea into our first coding tournament. 🏆

We just completed the first-ever CodeHive tournament!

One big lesson: getting people interested is one thing. Getting them to show up and participate is another.

A small milestone for CodeHive

@DmitryBBLV Yes, and I sent reminder emails a day before and 30 minutes before the event

We just completed our first-ever CodeHive coding tournament! 🎉

From building the platform to organizing a real competition, it's been quite a journey.

A big thank you to everyone who participated and made this happen. ❤️

This is just the beginning.

@zerotoaihq yup

[Sanket Khedkar @SanketK120]

8 months building CodeHive. Posted everywhere. Zero signups.

Then I organized a 1v1 coding tournament.

40 strangers registered.

Still had to DM them to create accounts.

People don't adopt products because you post about them. Give them a reason to use them.

@matt__makes Learning new things everyday

[Sanket Khedkar @SanketK120]

@j3rah_ since the tournament brought in users the next i am planning is like community coding nights

[Sanket Khedkar @SanketK120]

@valerioamirani Man! that's really true and useful advice, it would really help. I would make sure to apply it in next time

[Sanket Khedkar @SanketK120]

@mianoedwin_ Yes, very true

[Sanket Khedkar @SanketK120]

@oderajoseph A handful so far, but honestly, getting them to create accounts took more effort than getting the registrations. 😅

I'm learning that interest doesn't automatically translate into activation.

[Sanket Khedkar @SanketK120]

📢 We're organizing the first CodeHive Coding Tournament!

Calling all developers and DSA enthusiasts to put their problem-solving skills to the test.

🏆 Prize: ₹500

@RemoteLinkTech I'm interested

[Sanket Khedkar @SanketK120]

@vineeth_agi Backend developer and software developer positions

[Sanket Khedkar @SanketK120]

@Joshua_WD well, HOPE so

[Sanket Khedkar @SanketK120]

LeetCode is great.

But solving 100 problems alone can get boring.

What if you could challenge a friend, code together, and make DSA practice competitive?

That's why I built CodeHive.

Looking for developers willing to try it 👀

@Joshua_WD Thanks, Josh! Appreciate it! 🙌

Still working on getting my first active users. I recently organized a coding tournament to bring developers onto the platform.
Definitely learning that getting people to try a product is a whole different challenge from building it 😅
