Inspiration
The idea has come to me from a personal problem: "How and where to store my wallet seed?" At first, I made an easy Python script for this, but I wanted to help the cryptocurrency community because I believe this is the future, and I wanted to be part of it, even if it's in a small way. So, I made this website for everyone. This is my only way with my current skill of helping the community. I hope you check it out, and it's useful for some of you, like it is for me.
What it does
The user just chooses any file from his device and an optional but recommended password and from that, a new wallet is born. Hidden in plain sight, the file will stay on the user devices until in the future the wallet will need to be reborn again :) The basic premise of this website is that it takes any file and converts it into a Data URL string and together with the optional password, it's then hashed using (SHA256), and the resulting output is used as the entropy for the Mnemonic Seed. It's quite simple, but I didn't see this done anywhere.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I am sure this is not quite as you expected I say here, but I am really proud of myself for getting this website in a finished state; for me, this was an enormous challenge. The drive of making something useful to others and showing my idea was what helped me push forward and not let it be just a Python script.
What we learned
A lot, basically everything that was about coding a website. Even how to make a video and edit it, but I still need to learn time management :)
