#devchallenge #pinatachallenge #webdev #api

This is a submission for the The Pinata Challenge

What I Built

I built Genith, an image and video generation app that uses AI/ML technology (fal.ai) for creating content based on text prompts. For easy and secure content storage, I used Pinata, which helps manage all the generated media.

Genith enables users to create and store unique content effortlessly, all while enjoying a smooth and engaging user experience. Key features include:

AI-Driven Generation: Users can generate stunning images and videos using advanced AI models.
Decentralized Storage: Integrating Pinata, all generated content is securely stored on IPFS, ensuring reliable and decentralized access.
Upvoting and Community Engagement: Users can upvote their favorite generated content, fostering a collaborative experience.
Intuitive Interface: The app's design prioritizes user-friendly navigation, making it easily accessible.
