    You’re completely missing the point. This isn’t a job registry. It’s a networking space for young builders.

    There are thousands of high school students who are genuinely passionate about coding, graphic design, creating clothing brands, or launching digital projects. I’m 16 myself, and I spend a few hours a day working on projects because I genuinely enjoy building things, getting feedback, and networking with other people who have the same mindset. Nobody is forcing me to do it.

    Why would a teen build a platform for child labor?

    We are fully aware of internet safety. That’s exactly why the platform won’t handle financial transactions, won’t post real-world job listings, and will have strict moderation to keep malicious users out.

    Adults have LinkedIn, GitHub, and Twitter to find collaborators and connect with people in their industry. Why shouldn’t teen creators have a safe space to find co-founders, meet other builders, and work on cool projects together?

    Not everything young people build has to be treated like exploitation. Sometimes people just want to create things and connect with others who share the same interests.
