Our approach
I remember the night it all began as if it were yesterday. There I was, an 18-year-old freshman at BITS Pilani, curled up in my dorm room in Greensboro, Georgia. The soft glow of my phone illuminated my frustrated face as I scrolled endlessly through my Instagram.
“Ugh, another one?” I muttered, spotting yet another account I followed that wasn’t following me back. My thumb was sore from the endless scrolling, my eyes strained from squinting at the tiny usernames. There had to be a better way.
That’s when it hit me. A lightbulb moment, if you will. What if I could create something to do this tedious task for me? For everyone?
I’d love to say I leapt into action immediately, coding through the night like some Silicon Valley wunderkind. But the truth? I fell asleep, the idea percolating in my subconscious.
The next morning, fueled by determination (and copious amounts of caffeine), I began my quest. Between classes on quantum mechanics and advanced algorithms, I scribbled notes about user interfaces and data processing. My classmates thought I was taking extra notes. Little did they know I was sketching the blueprint for what would become NotFollowingBack.com.
Weeks turned into months. My laptop became an extension of my arms. I learned new coding languages, pestered my professors with oddly specific questions about data management, and turned my roommate into a reluctant beta tester.
“Kusara,” she’d groan, “it’s 3 AM. Can’t this wait?”
But it couldn’t. I was on fire, possessed by this vision of a tool that could save millions from the mind-numbing task of manually checking their Instagram relationships.
Finally, after countless sleepless nights and debugging sessions that left me questioning my sanity, NotFollowingBack.com was born. I remember staring at the launch button, my cursor hovering over it, heart pounding. With a deep breath and a silent prayer, I clicked.
At first, nothing happened. The silence was deafening. But then, like a trickling stream that turns into a roaring river, users started flowing in. One became ten, ten became a hundred, and before I knew it, thousands were using my creation.
The next few months were a blur. Balancing server loads became as crucial as balancing chemical equations. I was answering user emails between bites of ramen, updating features while waiting for my laundry. My little dorm room project had turned into something bigger than I could’ve imagined.
As word spread, I found myself in surreal situations. There I was, a 20-year-old college student, speaking at tech conferences, explaining to seasoned developers how a frustrating night of Instagram scrolling led to a tool
