GS Design Just another developer blog

I have been writing a small website in the small free time i have had for the past 2 months, and testing it to see how it will perform if many users will start to use it and now i believe i can make it public, at least as pre-alpha state .

The website is called YM Archive and the ideea is of an archive that will keep a track of a users activity on Yahoo messenger ( online times and avatars ). It only records the online time, not the invisible time as i value the users privacy … if he wants to be invisible he must have a reason to do it.

The website was originaly build for me, since many times i wanted to know if a person has been online today and i have missed him, but i figured maybe others will want the same information … so make it a public service.

As a pointer, the website only tracks a limited amount of users, the ones that it has in its database. To add a new user in the database you need to do a search for it and it will add it automatically, and from that point it will track its status, so next time you look the same ID up it should have some history for you ( if the user has been online since add ).

In time the website will integrate other IM services, and maybe include an user account where you will have some stats printed out for you and your friends.

Hope you enjoy it.
Cheers
