Good day everyone, works on steemstockphotos is progressing as the search for developers to take up this challenge has begun. I have decided to continue to make posts as frequent as possible to request for contributors(developers first) to join in the vision, until we have input or the website is created. I will be doing this because the utopian is now larger and it is getting harder for posts to be seen. I will always take the pain to explain over and over again what the project is all about so as to avoid having to go back to previous posts to get updated on the project.
I was speaking with @reggaemuffin yesterday on this same project, and he made a challenging point on how easy it is to find a developer. He said most developers will be busy with one project or the other and i have no technical experience whatsoever, this will make the matter harder than it looks. It is easy for me to give up thinking posts like this won't get anywhere, but i am not intending to give up until i see this dream fulfilled. As it stands now, i can't make a blog post on utopian to this effect since the steemstockphotos repo on github is empty.
I have to list the set backs i am having so that developers can rise up to this challenge and take it up with passion. Another reason is to justify the reason why i have to make the task requests frequently. Again i passionately believe that steemstockphotos is possible and it shall be executed. I am not going to give up until i see this idea executed.

About

Steemstockphotos is the answer to the inequality we have on the internet today. Its aim is to restore equality of all race on the internet by dealing with inequality on the stock photo libraries that we have.

Hypothesis

When you check the popular free photo libraries that we have today you will notice that they contain the photos of the white race in very large proportion(if not 90%) than other race. And when you browse through these website you might be tempted to think the only skin colour we have is white. This is not exergerating. Lets test it out.
I believe you know that google search engine can search at least all popular free photo libraries we have (even the internet as a whole). So the results on google.com should be counted as the averages of all photo library.

If i search a generic query ‘a man sitting' under the image category.

You will note that most of the results contain white coloured skin people.

Now let us proceed to do another generic search of ‘a lady running'
The result is still the same. (more pics of whites)

What if you try any of this search on shutterstock.com?
You will have the same results.

Vision

The steemstockphotos wishes to correct this by having equal proportion of all race's photos so that search results on the website can carry these results. I believe as this is done on the proposed steemstockphotos website, it will affect the whole internet in a matter of time.
Steemstockphotos (directed by @blackphotos on steemit), will be having ipfs or ipns as it storage and built on top of the steem blockchain so as to reward photographers for their work.

Developers

Developers are needed to take this vision up to make it a reality. Steemstockphotos is to be designed to look more like pixabay.com, the interphase looks good and it is easily accessible.
I have decided to add any interested developer as the admin on github for this project. They will take technical decisions for this website to be created. The github repo is: https://github.com/ayobami99/steemstockphotos and the project name is ayobami99/steemstockphotos.
The project basic features (take pixabay.com for example) are the landing page,
The dash board for accounts,
A search bar for all photos,

The categories,

E.t.c
