Fairdrive: Low Fidelity Wireframing - Shared Pod

This project was part of the Swarm Ecosystem and was built for one of its biggest projects on top of the Swarm Blockchain Protocol, Fairdrive.

I was brought on board to design and develop, with the main ecosystem partner, both the middleware and UI front end for a file explorer that can communicate with the data on a lower system layer (for instance any database layer, including BEE Nodes on the Swarm Ecosystem). 

It would represent user data in an intuitive, designed Dapp made up of both a front end and a backend, namely the Fairdrive Dapp and Fairdrive Protocol. 

This first version for the project was considered a sandbox project, one that can inspire both the Fair Data Society and Swarm community and get people as excited to build as we were.

A big functionality of the architecture to consider was that a developer could build on top of Fairdrive in any manner needed to render their own end users data. For instance, a map or photo min dapp using an end user's uploaded data. 

Therefore for the first designs, the design team took inspiration from the set of reusable react components that can be injected into a developers dapp that can run on top of Fairdrive, most important of which are:

1.) Show files component

2.) Upload component

3.) Login component

These are some of the first designs to explore those kind of flows on a basic level.
