The problem Flow-NFTs solves

The problem it solves is providing a simple and user-friendly interface for minting and owning Flow NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) on the Flow blockchain. It eliminates the complexities and technical barriers often associated with creating and managing NFTs, making it accessible to a wider audience. Users can easily log in, mint their own NFTs with customizable details, view their owned NFTs, and enjoy the benefits of owning unique digital assets on the Flow blockchain.

Challenges we ran into

Integration with Flow Blockchain: Integrating the application with the Flow blockchain required understanding the Flow's architecture, transaction handling, and querying data. It involved working with Flow's JavaScript libraries, such as "@onflow/fcl" and "@onflow/types", and ensuring the correct configuration for connecting to the testnet.

Authentication and User Management: Implementing user authentication and management was crucial for allowing users to log in and interact with their NFTs. It involved working with the fcl library to authenticate users, handle user sessions, and retrieve user addresses for transactions and queries.

NFT Minting: Implementing the minting functionality involved writing and executing Cadence transactions. We needed to correctly pass arguments to the transaction, such as the user's address, NFT name, description, and IPFS link. Ensuring the proper execution and handling of minting transactions required thorough testing and debugging.
