Bloglens

Bloglens is an open-source decentralized, and permissionless Blogging Platform where creators own what they write. Built on top of Lens Protocol 🌿, Bloglens lives in the IPFS & Polygon network. IPFS hosts the blogging data of creator and Polygon holds the ownership proof. No one can take down any content from the app even the admins.

The Problems with existing Blogging Platform

Ownership: The web2 blogging platform stores the data of the user in a centralized approach. It may seem that they give ownership of the content written by the writer to the writers. But in reality, they control all the data. Monetization: There is not much monetization feature for blogs currently in web2. Distribution Channel: Most people have an online brand on different social media platforms. Almost none have good long content post types. Users have to use a different tool for blogging.

The Problems lensblog solves

Ownership: In lensblog, writers' content is stored in IPFS permanently. No one can delete it. The ownership proof stays on polygon through lens protocol. Later, premium blog posts could be stored by encrypting. Monetization: You can earn money by creating premium blog posts. Where only premium followers will be able to access your posts. Also, you can set a collection fee or mirror fee, anybody collecting or mirroring your posts should pay a fee. Distribution Channel: Most people have an online brand on different social media platforms. Almost none have good long content post types. Users have to use a different tool for blogging.

lensblog should promote great writers, by enabling them to write their best writing through a powerful User-friendly and feature-packed text editor.

Bloglens's UI has a rich text editor enabling writers to write great blogs, the content is saved in a JSON object file. This JSON object is pushed to IPFS and this will later be fetched to show the blog's content. Then a lens protocol post is prepared, and the URI is saved as one of the attributes. When bloglen's UI, the URL "/blog/{A_VALID_ID}" is hit, it checks if it's a valid bloglens posts and has a content URI. It uses IPFS again to fetch the content and paint it in UI.
