Todo

[ ] Create a substrate UI

[ ] Test adding image to IPFS through this browser js calls
[ ] Add a browse and add picture UI
[ ] Test adding image to IPFS through this UI
[ ] Add to the IPFS and store it's hash

Looks like js might be a better way of interacting with IPFS. I think maybe I should crate a substrate React UI and add this module with a UI component that allows the user to add a picture to IPFS

Another option is https://polkadot.js.org/api/METHODS_RPC.html#json-rpc

Currently the js-ipfs isn't working for me, I will just manually enter pictures into ipfs now to test and then come back to making an interface for this process

I think the ipfs hash can probably be stored as H256
