The HN account was created 2013. Did you create it when you were (18-11=) 7 years old?
Good catch! Yes, I actually did create this account back in 2013 when I was around 7. I was always fascinated by tech and curious about platforms like Hacker News, even if I didn’t fully understand them at the time. It’s been incredible to revisit and actively use the account now that I’m older and diving into building my own projects!
Just a couple of months ago you posted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41983089, which makes it pretty clear (together with your earlier submissions/comments) that you're not anywhere close to 18 or that this is your first app.
Poster could have had the 5 year old son at 13 you know?
Kids grow up so fast these days, you know.

You were a founder at the age of 10 then for your post from 2016? Doubt
I don't get it. I look at the screenshots, and they show random pics, asking people to guess their age. In what sense is it meaningful? How is it better or different from classic social media?
Thanks for pointing that out—you're absolutely right. The current screenshots don’t fully convey the app’s intention. I quickly put them together without much thought, and I’ll replace them with something more meaningful soon.
The idea behind posting here is to learn from this community because I admire the critical thinking here. This app is my first attempt at creating something that combines fun with value, and feedback like this is exactly what I’m looking for to make it better.
The app’s core idea is to offer a way for people to engage in meaningful interactions—something I felt was missing from traditional social media. Instead of endless scrolling or vanity metrics, it’s about creating questions that spark curiosity and friendly competition among friends. It’s my first attempt at combining fun with purpose, and feedback like this is exactly what I’m looking for to improve.

This seems to be ai generated. Am I wrong?
