BlogChain

BlogChain is a blog platform running on iOS which hosts its blogs on the blockchain. By doing so, it is easier to protect the intellectual property and may extend the life-hood of articles (as long as at least one copy exists in the network).

How to run

Install Vapor

brew tap vapor/tap
brew install vapor/tap/vapor

Execute following commands in /server folder

vapor build

Use the following command to create xcode project file.

vapor xcode

sudo gem install cocoapods
