Given - Charity Contributions

[andrewrd]

Status Hackathon Submission

Type: DApp
Github Repo: https://github.com/andrewrd/given-dApp
Description:
Given is a very simple charity contribution DApp allowing charities to host their own fundraisers with Ethereum. The premise is very simple, charities deploy the app and contract and users can send funds seeing them update live on the site. Initially the project was meant to contain a voting capabilities in which users vote with their contribution to allocate the pool to the most voted for charity, however I opted for a very simple implementation in the end as I found the voting aspect to be quite complex to implement at this stage.

The main point of this project is it helped me a great deal in getting used to solidity development and learning more about the status.im platform and Ethereum. The main challenges I faced in completing this project was getting used to the solidity language and overall stack(truffle, geth, testnet's in ethereum, web3 and connecting to status.im), so overall I gained a lot of value in participating in the hackathon overall as it provided me a good introduction to continue in dApp development.

In future, I'll be expanding this app to have voting capabilities and also have chatbot integration into the status.im platform and revamping the UI to be more user friendly and original.
