Building a decentralized dynamic hosting application came with its fair share of challenges. Here are some of the key problems we faced during the development process:

Learning Blockchain: Initially, the concept of blockchain was new to our team, requiring us to invest time and effort in learning its fundamental concepts and how it functions. However, the documentation and platform provided by Flow made the learning process smoother.

Smart Contract Deployment: Deploying the smart contract onto the blockchain posed challenges. It involved understanding the deployment process, configuring the necessary parameters, and ensuring the contract was properly deployed and functional on the blockchain network.

Automating Hosting Process: To enable decentralized hosting, we had to automate the process of hosting the site on a user's PC. This involved creating a mechanism to deploy the necessary infrastructure and applications on the user's machine automatically. Additionally, we needed to set up tunneling to redirect requests from the decentralized network to the local host running on the user's PC, ensuring accessibility for anyone to access the hosted content.

Desktop Application Development: Building a desktop application for clients. We faced challenges in designing and developing a user-friendly desktop application that facilitated the hosting process, allowed users to manage their hosted content, and provided necessary controls and configurations.

Learning Cadence: Adapting to a new programming language can be a significant challenge. We had to invest time and effort in understanding the syntax, semantics, and best practices of Cadence to effectively develop smart contracts on the Flow blockchain.
