A decentralised, censorship-resistant image hosting service using IPFS and Filecoin (web3.storage).
This project consists of an API and two frontends for that API - a CLI and a web frontend. Both are built to perform three operations: upload, fetching and homepage view. Users can upload an image and an IPFS content-ID is returned for that image. For the CLI, the homepage is loaded as previews of the images as ASCII art, along with their CIDs.
Why IPFS?
IPFS (Inter-Planetary File System) is
A peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol designed to preserve and grow humanity's knowledge by making the web upgradeable, resilient, and more open.
