Simple and browser-scoped IPFS file browser leveraging Pinata Cloud SDK

This is a submission for the The Pinata Challenge

What I Built

Simple and browser-scoped IPFS file browser leveraging Pinata Cloud SDK in which the user can upload, download, preview, and delete files using Pinata Cloud SDK. I built this web app for participating in the contest only and I've used some of my knowledge gained from other projects I've made.
