Good luck folks! I think this represents an interesting opportunity to dip your toes into IPFS in a way that still mostly just feels like the file structures you're used to.
I'm very intrigued by Pinata.
Good luck everyone!
Guys, rules, guidelines, and FAQ page, this link is not working.
Thanks, fixed!
cool🙌
So glad I was able to join and complete this challenge😁. It's been a while for me. Here's my submission for anyone interested in viewing😊. Big thanks to @pinata for hosting this. Their files API integration is truly effortless.💫
Lets gooo!!!
Let’s do this guys 👏🏻
This looks interesting!
Hey guys, I have a question. In my team, there are 2 people who are UI/UX designers, and I am a developer.
So, to participate as a team, do my team members also need to register an account on dev.to? How will this process work?
Hey @jacksonkasi, they don't have to register for a DEV account unless they would like to have earn badges. We do not handle prize splitting, so whoever submits the project would receive the entire prize.
Thanks for clarifying it :)
Is this a challenge a legitimate person can actually compete in or is this another thing, where 10 people from India will create a group and just make a huge project out of it?
Well, You are cooked ! 🙂
Hey guys, I have a question:
How do we handle file access control with Pinata API while using normal storage (not IPFS)? like sharing the file with another user and managing the permissions.
