The problem Pridehood solves

💡 Inspiration

Our inspiration stems from the fact that the LGBTQ+ community requires a space where they can gain all of the information they need, know that they are not alone, that family does not always have to be blood related, and that they are entitled to all of the respect, appreciation, and equal opportunities and rights. They require a platform where they may openly talk and where real specialists and therapists can assist them in their quest for respect and pride.

🛡Filecoin - IPFS - estuary

We are using estuary to upload public images onto Filecoin and pin it to IPFS. The InterPlanetary File System is a protocol, hypermedia, and file-sharing peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data in a distributed file system. IPFS uses content-addressing to uniquely identify each file in a global namespace connecting IPFS hosts.

🌀Replit

Our node server has been made and deployed on replit ide. link for the replit is https://replit.com/@KevalVavaliya/kevalPrideServer

Challenges we ran into

• Completing the project was a challenge because we had to implement the project by a deadline.
• As we are new to IPFS/Filecoin/estuary we face problems in getting the content properly with minimum lag.
• Using hedera for developing the anonymous chat room was time-consuming as we are new to web3 but having JS SDK was a bit easier.
• As Flutter is a new framework finding solutions for some problems was bit difficult compared to JS
