Decentralized Thoughts

Decentralized Thoughts is decentralized application for creating and storing posts.

It allows users to create a message page with a simple user interface and then compile all the components of the message page into JSON data. The JSON file will then be stored on IPFS (Interplanetary File System) which is a distributed file system using Web3.Storage. The dApp allows you to share information in posts with the whole world using IPFS.

Development

Developed with

• React.js
• MUI
• Redux Toolkit Query
• IPFS
• Web3.Storage

Demo Usage

• Demo dApp on fleek
• Demo dApp on vercel

IPFS & Web3Storage Usage

• Create Post Page

  const storageHandler = async () => {
        setIsLoading(true)
        const storage = new Web3Storage({token: storageApiKey})
        const data = {
            post_title: postTitle,
            post_body: postBody,
            profile_nickname: profileNickname,
            profile_description: profileDescription,
            recommendations: recs,
            data_created: new Date().getTime(),
        }
        const blob = new Blob([JSON.stringify(data)], {type: 'application/json'})
        const dataFile = [new File([blob], 'post.json')]
        const cid = await storage.put(dataFile, {name: postTitle})
        setCID(cid)
        setIsLoading(false)
    }
  

• IPFS Query

  export const ipfsApi = createApi({
    reducerPath: 'ipfsApi',
    baseQuery: fetchBaseQuery({baseUrl: 'https://ipfs.io/ipfs/'}),
    endpoints: (builder) => ({
        getIpfsPost: builder.query({
            query: (cid) => `${cid}/post.json`,
        })
    })
  });
  

Data for the test

Sometimes saving a post to storage can take longer than expected. Therefore, after creating a post, it is not always possible to immediately receive and display it. I included here the CIDS of the posts I created earlier to test the application:

Future Updates

• Ability to save files like user avatars, media files in post content.
• Smart contract for donations for post authors if the author specified the address.
• UI Improvement.
