Project: The Switch
Began in March 2020
The Switch is a project I built that tests technologies I was learning about (namely, databases, long polling, and PHP) to form a virtual switch that you can switch on from anywhere in the world, and it updates on everyone else's devices instantly. For instance, you can flip The Switch on your phone and see it update in real-time on your computer.
I used vanilla PHP, AJAX, session cookies, and a MySQL database to implement this functionality.
The Switch is no longer available online.
