Inspired by Mark Zuckerberg's Facemash, Connectbises was meant to be a platform that connected people from my school easily through a single chat room. The idea was that people could just signup and immediately chat with people from our school without going through the hassle of looking up their public profiles.
Even though the project is site down now, I consider it to be a success because it is the first professional project that I undertook, and maintained. Apart from coding websites, this project taught me more about marketing, staying persistent, building connections, and communicating with them effectively.
