Yeah. As a high schooler I just wanted to use AIM on it, but all the web-based AIM clients required Flash at the time, which wasn't supported in the PSP browser.
So I ended up hacking together a site called AIMonPSP with PHP and MySQL that did all the AIM communication on the server instead of client-side. Made a decent amount of money (for a high schooler) on AdSense banners, and learned a lot about software design the hard way.
- ravetcofx 2y agowhat kind of server did you Host it on? local Desktop? and how did it manage traffic and bandwidth?
- scottbez1 2y agoStarted on a VPS and then scaled to a single larger dedicated server through a hosting company. It was never doing crazy amounts of traffic, maybe 1-2k concurrent users at peak, and the frontend was just doing slow polling every few seconds.
