The problem Sahayak solves

The problem that we are trying to solve are the following -

• Eradication of the fake document industry
• Online counselling which is as secure/safe as their offline counterpart(counselling for Josaa/Neet)
• In the time of covid-19 we need to hold counselling and education record verification online with all the security we can get
• Save Paper as to be submitted multiple copies of same document during verification
• Securing your documents on blockchain instead of a centralized server which can be hacked
• Interview sessions to be held with full proof CV verification by the use of blockchain
• Instead of a bunch of files and all the authentication needed we can switch owards digital signatures by blockchain
• Not repeating mistakes of Adobe with pdf signs, this is something that becomes immutable accross the world together with an accuracy of 2-5 seconds

To put it short: smartcontracts and public blockchain provide the possibility to automate processes, eliminate the need for third parties, while providing a trust-less and immutable, time-stamped record and without the need to reveal the actual document outside your private network. There is no other system that provides these qualities. Moving the process to blockchain is a natural step to take.

Challenges we ran into

There were like a gazillion of bugs while making this project and at some moment I just wanted to quit.To be honest webpack was seriously annoying to work with. We had bugs like "fs" not found and then various missing webpack loaders,404 post request error in skynet etc,also we wanted to make the web app on reactjs but we had some deprecated libraries so we switched it to vanilla javascript and webpack.also there were errors while integrating with the matic network as the smart contract would not get deployed and portis was also another different story alltogether.api registration was hard and its call bugs were making our lives a misery but in the end it all went smooth.
