Conversations Unbound, Thoughts Unfiltered

The problem DeThread solves

DeThread Aims to Solve Issues Censorship issues in conversations in social media platforms and to make a full free and censorship free conversation thread.

Censorship-Free Conversation:

Challenge: Centralized platforms often implement censorship, limiting free expression. DeThread Solution: Ensures uncensored conversations, empowering users to speak openly without fear of suppression or filtering.

Review and Commenting Freedom:

Challenge: Some websites, including YouTube videos, have restricted or disabled commenting features by default. DeThread Solution: Enables commenting and reviews on websites where these features are limited, promoting open discussion and diverse opinions.

Immutable Blockchain Messaging:

Challenge: Traditional messaging systems lack transparency and are susceptible to centralized control. DeThread Solution: Stores messages in the blockchain, providing transparency, security, and immutability, ensuring that once a message is recorded, it cannot be altered or censored.

Live Group Chat:

Challenge: Real-time group discussions are often limited or absent on certain platforms. DeThread Solution: Introduces live group chat, facilitating dynamic, real-time conversations among users, fostering a sense of community and immediacy.

User-Controlled Data:

Challenge: Centralized systems compromise user data privacy and control. DeThread Solution: Decentralization empowers users, ensuring control over their data and mitigating privacy concerns.

Challenges we ran into

Obstacle

The initial plan was to build the entire comment thread and associated features within the extension. However, integrating blockchain tools posed a significant challenge due to limited support.

Solution: Using an IFrame Approach Mimicing an extension

To Overcome this Challenge we developed a dedicated website for the comment thread and blockchain integration, accessed seamlessly through iframes, ensured users experience the benefits of blockchain without compromising usability. This approach provided a flexible and scalable architecture, overcoming limitations for unfiltered conversations within the extension.
