- Ganache local network
The inspiration for this project was to build a decentralized application solving current problems. There is a very critical problem in the working of current crowdfunding systems, centralization being the major one followed by accountability and consensus system for deciding expenses. I got inspiration about this application from a video of Stephen Grider where he talked about having this idea and then I implemented it and tested it on the local ganache network. This solves a lot of these problems by using the advantages blockchain provide as a technology, which include transparency, security, decentralization, consensus. The process is made as simple as possible.
First the smart contract for the application was created on Remix IDE which was tested with different inputs, then I used truffle unbox react to get a basic truffle template with react included. The latest version of solidity and react with Context API has been used.
I then added the contract in the code, then wrote tests for the application which I tested using truffle test. After testing and finalizing I deployed them on ganache local network using truffle migrate --network ganache_local with instance of ganache running.
Then I started working on the frontend part of the application. I started with designing in AdobeXD. I developed the frontend using react and npm libraries.
