Project Description

Ideas that emerge from inspiring books/ movies/ experiences are so often forgotten after that moment. Our core memories inform our values and outlook on the future. This is why our project aims to permanently store one's ideas on the blockchain (to prevent censorship caused by oneself) and to make sure the ideas are revisited, they will appear on a dashboard using a random number generated indexer. The ideas here are in the form of videos because we believe this is the best way to encapsulate a thought since you are documenting your emotions through facial expressions along with it. Our unique identities should be encouraged instead of the conformity of thought.

How it's Made

First, we setup our coding environment with the help of Truffle, after that we wrote smart contracts in solidity. After writing smart contracts, to build the front-end of our DApp we used React.js Javascript library plus some HTML5, CSS3 & JavaScript. We used IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) to store the hashes of our videos to the blockchain and later we'll be able to play those videos by calling those video hashes. To connect our Smart Contracts with front-end we used Web3.js and then we deployed our Smart Contracts on the Mumbai testnet. In the final step, we hosted this DApp on IPFS by using the Fleek platform.
