About Jishnu K Sivan
Welcome to My Corner of the Internet
Hi, I’m Jishnu K Sivan, a developer, tech enthusiast, and content creator from Thrissur, Kerala, India. Welcome to jishnuksivan.com, a place where I share practical tutorials on app development, online monetization, hosting, and AI.
This website began with a simple idea. Over the years I have spent countless hours learning new tools, fixing strange errors, and testing different ideas. Every time I solved a problem, I wished there was one clear guide that explained everything in plain language, without confusing jargon or missing steps. This site is my attempt to build those guides, for you and for the person I was when I started.
Who I Am
I am a self-driven learner who enjoys building things with code. My work and interests cover a wide range of technology: Android app development with Android Studio, cross-platform apps with Flutter, game development with Unity, app monetization with AdMob and AdSense, YouTube content creation, VPS and web hosting, and the fast-growing world of AI tools and prompts.
I don’t believe in learning from theory alone. I like to open the editor, build something, break it, fix it, and understand why it works. That hands-on habit shapes everything you read on this site. When I write a tutorial, it comes from things I have actually tried, tested, and run into myself.
Why I Started This Website
When I was learning, I noticed a few problems with most tutorials online:
- Many assume you already know the basics and skip important steps.
- Some are outdated, because tools like Android Studio, Flutter, and Unity change very quickly.
- Others copy each other without ever testing the instructions.
- Very few explain the why behind each step, only the what.
I started jikushivan.com to fix this, one article at a time. My goal is to write tutorials that are accurate, current, and easy to follow, so you can finish a guide with a working result and real understanding, not just copied code.
What You’ll Find Here
The content on this site is organized into four main areas.
1. App Development
This is the heart of the site. You will find beginner-friendly guides on:
- Installing and setting up Android Studio
- Building your first Android app step by step
- Getting started with Flutter and understanding when to choose it over native Android
- Creating simple 2D games in Unity
- Publishing your app on the Google Play Store
Each guide explains the setup, the code, and the common mistakes, so you don’t get stuck halfway.
2. Earn Online
Many people want to turn their skills into income, but there is a lot of confusing and misleading advice out there. Here I share honest, practical information about:
- Adding AdMob ads to your Android and Unity apps
- Understanding AdSense approval and why applications get rejected
- Starting and growing a YouTube channel
- Realistic expectations about online earning
I will never promise overnight success. Real income takes consistent work, patience, and quality content, and I will always be upfront about that.
3. Hosting and Servers
Running your own website or backend can seem intimidating at first. In this category I cover:
- What a VPS is and who actually needs one
- Shared hosting versus VPS
- Installing WordPress on a VPS
- Connecting a domain to your hosting
- Making your website faster and more secure
These guides come from my own experience of setting up and managing websites, including this one.
4. AI and Prompts
AI tools are changing how we code, write, and create. I share simple, useful guides on:
- Writing better prompts to get better results
- Using AI to speed up coding and debugging
- Using AI for research, writing, and idea validation
- Common mistakes people make when working with AI tools
My view is that AI is a powerful assistant, but it works best when a thoughtful human guides it. I always review, test, and improve anything AI helps me with before sharing it here.
How I Create My Content
Quality matters more to me than quantity. Here is how I approach every article:
- Research and testing: I try the steps myself before I write them down, using the latest stable versions of the tools wherever possible.
- Clear structure: Every tutorial has a clear goal, a list of requirements, numbered steps, and a short summary.
- Real examples: I use real screenshots, code, and examples instead of vague descriptions.
- Honest explanations: If something is tricky, I say so. If a method has downsides, I mention them.
- Regular updates: Technology changes fast, so I revisit older posts and update them when tools, interfaces, or policies change.
If you ever find an error or outdated step, please let me know. Feedback helps me keep the site accurate and useful for everyone.
Who This Website Is For
This site is for anyone who wants to learn and grow in tech, especially:
- Beginners who want to start app or game development but don’t know where to begin
- Students looking for simple explanations and project ideas
- Aspiring creators who want to build apps, websites, or YouTube channels
- Small website owners who want to understand hosting and WordPress better
- Curious learners who want to use AI tools more effectively
You don’t need a computer science degree or years of experience. If you are curious and willing to practice, you are in the right place.
My Values
A few principles guide everything I publish:
- Honesty: I share what works and what doesn’t, including my own mistakes.
- Simplicity: Complicated topics can be explained in simple words.
- Originality: My articles are written by me, based on my own learning and experience.
- Respect for your time: I try to get to the point, with no unnecessary filler.
- Continuous learning: I am still learning every day, and I like sharing that journey with you.
