About The Project

This widget uses IPFS and OrbitDB to have a fully decentralised and p2p "Like button" in the browser without any servers or FaaS. Important Note: This project is just an experiment and far from being production ready!

This is a Qm64 experiment!

Getting Started

If you instead want to modify the source code and run it locally you can follow these steps.

• Make
• NodeJS
