And right here is a video demo of what you'll have on your hands at the end of this tutorial.

What I Created

So what we'll be creating in this tutorial is a full stack DApp which goes by the name of FlareWay (pretty decent name, given how bad I am at naming my projects haha).
FlareWay is an application that connects talented, hardworking students from all walks of life and all cities of the world to donors all across the world, who can donate transparently to help provide these students with the education they so rightly deserve.

Journey

I honestly had never heard about Stellar before this challenge (am I disqualified already? :p). However, the Web3 space has always intrigued me, and when I saw this challenge, I thought I'd bite the bullet and create a Web3 application finally.
But, I still had no idea about Stellar, so I went through Stellar's website to actually understand what is it that they do.
And let me say, I absolutely adored their vision, and felt the urge to create something that is a small fraction of the good they help others do in the world.

I always have good ideas, but this time, I also had the necessary tools in my hand to build one of those ideas. I rarely praise a particular organization, but Stellar deserves the praise here, since without having a working knowledge of Rust, I was able to make a Web3 app, using their SDK. Good work, Stellar!

To anyone who's still reading till here, this is my first post on here. So I'd love any and every feedback on the tutorial. I would love to know what you liked, and what I can improve on.

Cheers!
