The problem Crowdies solves

Crowdies is a crowdfunding solution that streamlines and simplifies the process of funding or supporting an individual's ventures, in the form of ERC-20 tokens being bought by end-users to support the project/venture. This removes the involvement of third-party entities in supporting an individual's ventures through external funds in return for stakes.

Challenges we ran into

The various challenges we ran into while developing the project are:

1. Since most of us are new to this technology, we faced a lot of difficulties in setting up the various technologies and tools.
2. We ran into some issues with Metamask due to constant automatic network switches taking place while integrating with Infura.
3. Debugging the smart contract was a bit difficult due to its abstract and object-oriented syntax.
4. React integration using ethers.js and other third-party libraries was a bit difficult due to a lack of experience as well as general knowledge of the ecosystem.
