The problem SCRIBE solves

Even in the age of superior digital technology, a time-defying idea shouldn't be buried; rather, it should be embellished.
A person should never have their idea rejected because of — Favoritism/Nepotism — Capital/Funding — Experience, Academics, or Credibility.

Therefore, “Scribe” aims to give aspirational changemakers a platform to share their opinions, research, and creations. It assists them in locating mentors, partners, and potential investors who can assist them in making their idea a reality.

Because this platform is “open source” the recommendation system will correct these biases rather than encouraging paid entities in the recommendations of the users.

As “Scribe” uses a decentralized blockchain to verify the contents to be published, the favoritism and nepotism that surround publishing houses, funding/launching agencies, monarchs, and autocrats will be eliminated. If found guilty, the publishing node will be removed from the network.

One user who might be interested in the idea or work of another can get in touch, work together, and even invest, so this could be the major step toward crowdsourcing and creating significant projects or carrying out global research activities.

Additionally, after passing a particular threshold established by the platform, a user can mentor and assist other aspirant changemakers in growing in their careers. As soon as someone is a verification node, they can review submitted abstracts and take appropriate action.
To safeguard one's creative work's copyright, the platform only requests an abstract of the idea or content.

Challenges we ran into

While working on day one, we had an issue with git repository. While forking the git repository, the new release feature of git didn’t allow users to merge the created branches on forked repository with the master, killing a few time and a lot of effort when we finally find out about the release and updated them. Late Night grind made it a little harder for us to concentrate and work during active hours
Integrating the cross-platform APIs from React and Django we came into a CORS error killing a few hours of our time for debugging. Poor internet connections were encountered a few times, taking it longer to import dependencies.
Working with IPFS to create NFTs was quite slow, and sometimes the images didn’t upload at all. Working with better alternatives like filecoin require dollar cards, which was difficult for us. Currently, different test nets are depreciated, so getting the ETH tokens was difficult. Mentors with proficient knowledge of web 3.0 weren’t available.
