It will be a resounding success. Don't listen to the haters.

Only one way to find out.
Should be easy to look up millions of movies, and then put every actor in each movie on the corresponding age page.
Shouldn't take more than an hour or so with all your skills. Let us know how it's going when you reply to this thread in 3 years to let us know you are still thinking about it.

I just had a random thought, I wonder if it's possible to run a phone OS on a TI calculator. Then use the calculator on the phone OS on the calculator. It's just calculations all the way down man.

I can't find the episode, but I remember In the TV series "That's So Raven" the character Eddie was excited to meet a girl from his favorite Sci-Fi TV show (it was a made up franchise.)
He said that she was THE GIRL OF HIS DREAMS!
But when he went to the expo to meet her, he was surprised to see that she was an elderly woman, Eddie didn't realize the series was decades old.
The elderly woman told him she used to be every guy's "dream girl" but she's not a young woman anymore.
This scene is a big reason why I want to make the "PastAge" website.

You think some kid has a sci-fi actress as the girl of his dreams, to the point of going to a convention to meet her, and he somehow doesn't know enough about her to know when she was born, and nobody around the kid happens to mention it, or that they remember watching that show 20 years ago?

I do like to try to help him out a little here and there in addition to giving him a hard time

The issue is figuring out how to present it to the user via a web server. Web languages like php just work with Apache and are more or less designed to run as a web language. For C++ you'd probably have to use cgi-bin which has a performance and security penalty. I think that's considered mostly deprecated now days. Before I learned php I used to write simple "scripts" in C++ and use cgi-bin and it did work. If you call it, it executes the C++ code server side and returns an output. So you can have it generate html code and such just like you would any web based language.
One method that might work better than cgi-bin would be to write the application as a stand alone web server that listens locally only, then use a reverse proxy to point to it and handle SSL. (would be complex to handle that yourself) I could see it being a useful approach for a larger scale application that can benefit from the performance or is distributed across multiple servers. But then I wonder if the reverse proxy setup would also introduce a performance hit, negating the benefits of C++, vs just using php directly without a reverse proxy. Although I'm just speculating here, I'm not sure what the hit is with using a reverse proxy, I suspect it's not very high with something like Ngynx which is optimized for it.

You're doing this wrong. You want to learn C++ because that's what video games use, write a video game in C++, not a website. Start simple, write a C++ program that will let you use your mouse to move an image around the screen or something.
