Sequel to the post that @stellabelle made few months ago on Is The Internet Racist? Let's Build A Stock Photo Library That Actually Represents The World's People. Where she made some hypothesis about the search results of queries relating to pictures. She drew an intruiging result that the internet has been a racist because the search results reveals that only a race takes the greater percentage of the result. Thus the internet is a replica of those who created it.
Thus she proposed that the non whites should take up the challenge and create a free photo library that correct the error. A library in which all the pictures in it contains people of all race equally.
I caught this vision with passion and decide to make a change, a few others with me caught the vision: @tecnosgirl, @josediccus, @sammie5 just to mention a few. This was what formed @blackphotos which was created to oversee activities relating to this project and coordinate the creation of Steemstockphotos.com
Steem stock photos is a photo library where photos of all races in equal proportion are displayed for usage by all internet users. Steemstockphotos.com is the dream website domain name. It will be a decentralised platform operating on ipfs or ipns (as storage) built on the steem blockchange so as to reward those who submit pics to this platform.
I want the structure to be like https://dsound.audio in that it is built on the steem blockchain (it rewards users) and it uses ipns and ipfs (a decentralised storage) as it storage.
But the outlook to look more like a photo library website e.g
I am no developer, i only have an idea of what it is meant to look like. I am calling on contributors (developers first) to make this project a reality.
I need developers to:
- Help create a photo library website which runs on ipfs and or ipns. (the library can be built locally first before the purchase of a domain, the domain will mostly likely be from steemit.com)
- The library must be built on the block chain.
- The library must look more like pixabay.com
The repo is https://github.com/ayobami99/steemstockphotos
The library basic features:
I will be using the mobile edition of pixabay.com to explain the basic features of steemstockphotos.com
The homepage must contain the menu bar, a little information about steem stock photos, a search bar, a list of top rated pictures, category, e.t.c. (you can add as you know or seem good to you)
The menu bar will contain links to
- Sign up and login
a. Sign up will lead to the steemit signup page
b. Login will lead to steemconnect v2 then back into the members dash board - Images which will lead to images on the site
- Photographers (which will lead to the list of accounts registered with steemstockphotos.com)
- Blog (this will lead to blog posts of some selected accounts, accepted on the site.
(Note: this should be as simple as possible since its just starting, so it shouldn't include, videos, or tools to make images )
- The site must contain a list of categories too
- ..... I am already getting bored with the details of what it should look like but it should look more like pixabay.com....
I will be available on utopian.io chat for discussion by any developer who is interested (p.s. i am only a normal guy and i know nothing about web development and the likes).
What is in it for developers who work with me:
- After the job is done, they can give a report on utopian.io with a proof of work and get upvoted by the utopian bot.
- They become an infinite automatic beneficiary of the platform (they are entitled to a percentage of the revenue made from this platform for as long as the platform exists)
- They imprint their name on the sands of time for moving for equality,
- And many more
I am sure this may take so many months to complete, and it may take sacrifices from both ends. I am looking for a developer who catches this vision to become a partner.
Please comment if you are interested so we can discourse better.
