Next Step Microgrant: Web3QR

akhileshthite commented 2 years ago

1. What is your project? (max 100 words)

Web3QR allows you to deploy static websites to IPFS by using web3.storage. After publishing the website, you'll get a decentralized QR code, IPFS CID, and hosted gateway link.

"It's like a web app version of DScan chrome extension". Why? So that mobile users can use it by accessing Web3QR in their browser.

Web3QR uses web3.storage for uploading the content to IPFS.

No problem @ErinOCon, thanks for the update. I love building on IPFS/Filecoin.

The grant programs helped me to put extra hours apart from the university work and ship the software! Thanks a ton :)

Happy decentralizing 🏴‍☠️
