The problem Decentralized Identity Platform (DIP). solves

🔒 The Decentralized Identity Platform (DIP) solves the problem of secure storage and easy access to personal documents in a decentralized manner. It provides users with a secure and user-friendly web application that allows them to store and access personal documents on the decentralized web using IPFS, Filecoin, and Web3Storage.

🔍 Traditionally, storing personal documents and information on centralized platforms is risky as it exposes the data to potential hacking and data breaches. DIP solves this problem by leveraging the power of decentralized storage networks to ensure that data is always available and accessible to users, while maintaining the highest levels of security and privacy.

🚀 With DIP, users can easily encrypt, upload, and retrieve their files from anywhere in the world, using only their private key to access their data. This eliminates the need for a central authority to manage data, and provides users with complete control over their personal information.

💼 DIP is particularly useful for individuals who value their privacy and want to ensure that their personal information is stored and managed securely. It can also be used by businesses and organizations that need to store sensitive data securely, while maintaining easy access to the data.

🔑 Overall, DIP simplifies the process of storing and accessing personal documents in a secure and decentralized manner, making it easier for individuals and businesses to protect their data and ensure its availability when needed.

Challenges I ran into

During the development of the Decentralized Identity Platform (DIP), I faced several challenges, but one of the most significant was my lack of experience with vanilla JavaScript. My background is in LAMP stack/PHP development, so working with heavy JavaScript features was a new experience for me. However, I saw this as an opportunity to expand my skillset and learn something new.

To overcome this challenge, I dedicated a significant amount of time to studying and practicing JavaScript concepts. I read through documentation and tutorials, watched online videos, and experimented with different techniques to improve my understanding of the language. This approach helped me to develop a stronger grasp of JavaScript and enabled me to apply this knowledge to the development of DIP.

Additionally, I encountered time constraints during the project as I was juggling my studies and exams alongside the development of DIP. While this made the development process more challenging, I remained focused and disciplined in managing my time effectively. I prioritized my workload, breaking down the project into smaller, more manageable tasks and working on them incrementally over time.

Despite the challenges, I believe that I was able to deliver a quality product with DIP. Given more time, I am confident that I could have made further improvements and added additional features to enhance the user experience. However, I am proud of what I was able to accomplish with the project, and I am excited to continue learning and growing as a developer.
