I'm 15 and I built a todo app with Telegram Stars payments — only legal way for me to monetize before turning 18

Hey dev.to,

So this is a weird story and I wanted to share it. Stick with me, the payment-processor part is genuinely funny.

I'm 15, live in Russia, and over the past three weeks of intense solo coding I built Doday — a todo app that runs as a web app, a Telegram Mini App, and a Telegram bot, all sharing one backend. Basically a Todoist alternative with Pomodoro built in, kanban boards, school portal sync (for Russian students — this is the moat tbh), and team collaboration.

You can try it here: getdoday.ru · code: github.com/SwairIt/doday · bot: DodayTaskBot on Telegram

I want to talk about the monetization part because I think it might be useful for other minors who are trying to ship products.
