Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Khalid — 18 years old, currently studying in Shenyang China. I taught myself to code at 11 and spent years building ProxyWorld entirely solo.
No team. No funding. No shortcuts.
ProxyWorld combines short videos, photo sharing and threaded posts into one app — with real time chat, push notifications and search. Every single line of code written by me.
We already have early users generating 700+ sessions with zero crashes. The community is small but the retention is real.
This is day one of something much bigger. If you've ever wanted to be part of a social app from the very beginning — this is that moment.
TestFlight link in the description. Would love your honest feedback.
I’m Khalid, 18, a Nigerian student studying in Shenyang, China — and I built ProxyWorld completely solo. Full-stack: the iOS app, the backend, real-time chat, voice messages, video, all of it.
ProxyWorld is a social app for [one plain line: what it’s actually for — say what it does in your own words here].
I’ve been building it for months, shipping updates constantly, learning every part of the stack myself along the way. It’s still early and I’m looking for honest feedback and early users who want to grow with it.
