Hello folks I am testing an online service called Pinata at the moment, which is an IPFS host with extra bells and whistles added. It can help integrate with Farcaster, which is an Ethereum based social media building platform - yes more things to have a look into, if I wish to do so.
My main use for this though is the Hive Sound Library project, I recorded a little voice memo on my phone yesterday, uploaded it to Pinata, the link is below for you to test - does it work? I think it loads rather quickly, which is good.

I can pin other files to my Pinata account, no matter where they may have been to begin with, currently, I've a raft of files on https://nft.storage, which is fine, they can stay there, after all that's what this tech is all about - distribution and decentralisation!
Ideally I'd love to build something like this because it just looks fantastic and comes with a host of other nice UI features too. It is hosted on IPFS and I found the Github repo for it but wasn't able to get it up and running. Anyone else willing to give it a go? Hop over to Github and see if you can fathom it out?
Nonetheless, I did build a NextyJS app yesterday that allows me to upload files to my IPFS store and pondered the possibility of creating something that would allow Hive users to login and upload sound files. Just a vague idea there but for now, I am looking at ways I could build sample packs, make it easy for people to audition them, pay with HBD and download their packs.
