Inspiration

As lacking an easy-to-use decentralized blog platform on IC, creators cannot monetize their content. Both the project owner and the author are still using the web2 blogging platform to publish web3 content. With this situation, we started trying to find an optimal product model to solve fix it. DFusion is a Web3 blogging platform that provides creators with creation tools and dissemination channels to spread Web3 content. We are dedicated to building a tripartite interest relationship between the platform, creators, and readers.

What it does

Blogging

Creators can freely set publish mode and read permissions, and provide an entrance for the construction of paid communities.
Write, edit & publish blogs.

Follow&Like -Follow your favorite creators, build a private feed of information, and never miss an update. Liked articles are stored in personal data space.

Minting NFTs -The articles can be minted into NFTs, supporting user mint article NFT copies.

How we built it

We completed the MVP product demo on a trial basis, participated in the Warpspeed hackathon in China, and won the third prize. He listened to a lot of opinions and provided an optimization path for subsequent iterations and better products. As developers, we have also accumulated experience and confidence. We also applied for Grant with this prototype
Our team built a more detailed product functional architecture, defined product goals, and started UI/UX design. Our goal is to provide a smoother user experience.

Challenges we ran into

-Storage issue, the single canister cannot hold enough data and is not scalable, we solved this by implementing a scalable storage architecture -Cross-canister query calls, cross-canister calls can only be update calls now, which is very slow and will affect the user experience, hope we can perform cross-canister query calls soon

Accomplishments that we're proud of

User-centered, providing high-quality gravitational paths for creators and readers
Designed a scalable backend architecture & implemented the new backend
- Use canister stable memory for data storage
- Implemented auto-scale storage buckets
Good UI/UX

What we learned

IC provides excellent underlying stability and memory capabilities, making it possible for us to achieve decentralized content creation.
