Writing as usual. Publishing like never before.

The problem dBlog solves

Currently, we have many centralized blogging apps Medium but constantly. The way writing is distributed, interpreted, applied, and valued is wrong. With Donald Trump suspended from Twitter and Facebook, and Parler kicked off AWS, there is renewed discussion about what sort of speech is acceptable online, and how it should be enforced. These bans were justified however, they do raise questions that need to be discussed, especially within the technology community.

With all of these, some cases will be very clear on one side or the other of the dividing line, but there will always be a large grey area of cases that are unclear and a matter of subjective interpretation.

Through a decentralized, user-owned, crypto-based network, the platform revolutionizes the way we express, share, and monetize our thoughts. Users can connect with their wallets and upload a blog. If that blog is genuine people can upvote the correct content. As a result, our platform is a sum of our contributors.

Publishing a blog, upvote, downvote, reply in threads and live feed update.

Challenges I ran into

Faced difficulty in fetching data from the Graph and updating live on NextJS. Used Apollo client to solve the issue.
