What’s the most advanced software or app you’ve written?

Mine was a Facebook like feed system? :D

I wrote a Facebook like feedback :P
But I never release a social media site at this stage anyway because I prefer forums.
 
I did some java code in college for a class, programmed a snow man program or something, I really can't recall it right now.
 
I used to work for a company that made loan origination software for banks, I got to do the legacy conversion of their old system to their new. That was fun, and pretty complex!
 
I remade parts of the original Zelda game in VB.net in school as a final project. About half of the overworld and the 1st level. The enemies were there, could be killed but couldn't attack. It was a great project.

Also made a Tetris game in Excel for fun. It mostly worked.

I programmed Langton's ant in python as well, it was fun. It's a great platform. I didn't know anything about python before that, I learned a lot.

Those all sound like really fun projects to work on!
 
The last thing I did was a Furniture Management system in C++ for a university assignment. Was pretty fun :)
 
Nothing fancy because most of it was relatively simple but I custom coded a gaming social network called Hive Gamurs using Python and Flask. Unfortunately, it is currently down because the new owner hasn't been working on it as much (https://www.hivegamurs.net/)

That’s amazing :)
I used PHP for the one I had, Then I thought mixing forums & a social feed together was a bad idea so I removed it.
 
I’m old. Older. ?

Back when I first started messing with message forums it was when PhpBB was the thing.

Every plug-in I added had to be hand coded into the forum software.

So imagine this… 4-hours to hand code the ability to use 6-different like buttons on a post as an example instead of the 1-click done in seconds tactic of today!

I remember PHPBB it’s one of the first platforms I used :D back in my forumotion days :)

Then I switched to Mybb which was easy to install plugins, similar to how Xenforo does it with a hook like system.
 
Approximately a decade ago I built an ORPG engine with a few folks.
We had a title running for a year or so but closed it due to lack of funding.
We were truly too young...
