You can directly read them on https://dweb-search.on.fleek.co/ too.

Definition

A decentralized Search Engine for IPFS and Filecoin.

Motivations and the problems we are solving

  • A lot of webpage/datasets on ipfs&filecoin lack the metadata, it is not easy to searchd and used.
  • A open and decentralized web is needed by more and more people, so a search engine support web3 rss and web3 Creative Commons licence and other standards is needed because of better decentralized features and incentive mechanism.
  • The reward of creators and curators are controlled by the big platform.
  • Many creators are not fimilar with new technology such IPFS, they need someone help them solve these problem.

Technical selection

  • We use python and mongodb as backend, code is open-sourced and all the metadatas are exported as jsonl file so that everyone can use them to build a dweb-search-engine again.
  • We use frontend which can be hosted on IPFS, so everyone can assess them easily. And other develops can design and write their own frontend UX.
