A blockchain based Tinder-like random art exploration responsive web app to discover and support lesser known artists.
This web app is built on the DeSo blockchain, providing the complete social media interface with Tinder-like UI for swiping based randomized exploration to discover lesser known artists and consumers. Artists can upload their content and consumers interact with it. General users can swipe right to like, swipe left to ignore, and even tip to support the artist. Users can view their liked art and the profiles of Artists, and Artists can view their posts along with likes and tips. Submitted to HooHacks 2022.
