The Dank Web

• 

  Meme research centre

Inspiration

We didn't want to spend money on hosting servers but needed to share our dank memes. We are going to make AWS obsolete

What it does

Shares images through P2P connections so users can seed the images to each other, reducing server load

How I built it

There is a back-end written in Nodejs that handles upload and seeds the images for when no-one else is. We used the JS library Webtorrent to do the P2P stuff

Challenges I ran into

Nodejs.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

The fact it actually works for a small number of images

What I learned

Don't Node

What's next for The Dank Web

trying to support more images and an image ranking system
