Unblogged

Unblogged is a blogging application that unblocks any form of censorship (Blog + Unblock = Unblogged). It utilizes IPFS to keep user's articles persistent and censorship resistant and Markdown language for a pleasant and familiar writing interface. When a user publishes an article, an NFT will also be minted and linked to the article to easily prove the ownership of the article. The user may also upload a new article and update the CID recorded on the NFT.

Our team's goal for this hackathon is to develop a 100% decentralized platform using the power of IPFS, hence, all the tools used to support this platform is completely decentralized. Unblogged is hosted using Fleek, which allows Unblogged to be permissionless, trustless, censorship resistant, and free of centralized gatekeepers. Every article that a user writes will be published and pinned on IPFS using web3.storage's SDK. This means that the user's article would be almost impossible to be censored. Each article is also minted as an NFT on Polygon which is integrated with Tableland such that every article can be searched (using a simple SQL query) on the Homepage of Unblogged by the article's title or tags.
