A number of years back, around when I was first starting college, I found a website that showed me how to make a simple user login system. A few attempts later, I've built something a lot more robust than what I started out with. What exactly have I built, and how did I get there?
I'm not really sure. This website has always been a place for me to try to create whatever projects I happen to be thinking of at the moment. I have an interest in building website backends, and this site is my latest result.
My previous websites have been rather, well, lacking. For this site, I tried to make it as modular as possible. As a result, any user can do now what I only dreamed about doing in the past: create as many subsites as they want, with user permissions. And, you don't have to edit the database directly to do it.
Basically, this site is my playground, and I'm still trying to find its purpose. If you find it, please let me know.
A few random facts about this site:
I created this site using four main tools: Vim, PhpMyAdmin, phpDocumentor, and Mercurial.
All of the software for this website was custom made, except for the following:
- The code to parse BBCode was taken from this post.
- The library used to incorporate reCAPTCHA into my site was taken from here.
This website is currently being hosted by the good people at Webhostingpad.com. All my domains are purchased through Godaddy.com.
