# Spee.ch
Spee.ch is a [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org) React web app that reads and publishes images and videos to and from the [LBRY](https://lbry.io/) blockchain.
Spee.ch is a [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org) React web app that reads and publishes images, videos and other assets to and from the [LBRY](https://lbry.io/) blockchain.
You can create your own custom version of spee.ch by installing this code base and then creating your own custom components and styles to override the defaults. (More details/guide on how to do that coming soon.)
Succinctly, via spee.ch, you can have a user-friendly, custom-designed image and video hosting site that is backed by a decentralized network. Via just a set of config files, you can spin your entire site back up including assets, with no backing up necessary.
Spee.ch depends on two other lbry technologies:
* [chainquery](https://github.com/lbryio/chainquery) - a normalized database of the blockchain data. We've provided credentials to use a public chainquery service. You can also install it on your own server to avoid being affected by the commons.
* [lbrynet](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry) - a daemon that handles your wallet and transactions.

### Issue tags in this repo
#### level 1
Issues that anyone with basic web development can handle; little-to-no experience with the spee.ch codebase is required.
#### level 2
Familiarity with web apps is required, but little-to-no familiarity with the lbry daemon is necessary
#### level 3
Familiarity with the spee.ch code base and how the lbry daemon functions is required
#### level 4
Issues with lbry (e.g. the spee.ch wallet, lbrynet configuration, etc.) that require strong familiarity with the lbry daemon and/or network to fix. Generally these issues are best suited for the `lbry` `protocol team` but are reported in this repo because they are part of the spee.ch implementation
