Tara is a photo sharing application for photographers who love pitch their photos and for companies who are looking for specific photos!

Watch a demo of Tara here

📖 How to use Tara:

• Sign up with your name and email address
• Click on Pitch Your Photos to upload your pictures with a price set you want
• Click on Challenge Photographers to submit a request to photographers with price you are willing to pay. Uploading a logo that depicts your photoshooting request would increase your visibiliy!

🛠 Technology:

• Application logic is open-source and is an Ethereum smart contract written in Solidity
• All images are being stored on IPFS
• ReactJS and NodeJS powers the client and backend

👩🏻‍💻 Development:

Prerequisites

• Truffle v5.1.42 (core: 5.1.42)
• Solidity v0.5.16 (solc-js)
• Node v14.13.1
• Web3.js v1.2.1

Setup

• Clone the repo using git clone (https://github.com/atefehmohseni/tara.git)
• cd tara
• Have a local blockchain running on port 8545 (e.g. using Ganache)
• Have a local IPFS daemon running on port 5001
• Run truffle migrate --reset
• Run npm install and then npm run start
• Open up your browser and the project should be up on localhost:3000 (if you can't see anything refresh the page a couple of times (2-3))

Contract interaction on a local blockchain

• Ensure your browser has a plugin (e.g. Metamask) that allows you to interact with the Ethereum blockchain
• Ensure you have a local blockchain running (e.g. on Ganache)
• Select Localhost:8545 or Custom RPC depending on which port your Ganache blockchain is running on
• Interact with the web interface

✅ Testing

You can run the tests by running truffle test from the main directory
