This early project demonstrated my passion for technology and entrepreneurship from a young age. Despite being created during middle school, it achieved significant success and taught valuable lessons about web development, scaling, and business operations that would shape my future career. To this day, I still mentions it as one of my best experiences, it grow a lot, was done the "old way", which had a ton of good knowledge about getting things done. It was also my first community-based website, as anyone could add a movies, tv show episodes to the website, and moderation would curate the urls. The million hits for a website created in 2007 is to this day also a big souvenir to me, it allow me to believe in creating good products for users and they will use it. One day, they changed the law, I received a mail from the newly created agency, and I had to close, it has became illegal and I wouldn't move offshore. The success of the website was a reason for me to step up from one html page per series done by me to a community aspect, which made me go more into Php, MySQL, admin panel and basic dynamic systems.
