Article Creation Guidelines

How to Create Articles

We welcome all forms of free expression. Below are some tips for creating articles that work well with our IPFS‑based platform:

• HTML or Markdown: We recommend creating articles as HTML files or Markdown (which can be converted to HTML). This format allows for rich content, including animated GIFs and interactive elements.
• Exporting from Medium: If you write on Medium, consider using the browser extension SingleFile. Use it in Edit mode to export your post as a single, self-contained HTML file.
• Long Form Articles: For in-depth content, long-form HTML is preferred. However, if you choose to create a PDF, note that it will be static and won’t support animations.
• Self-Contained Files: Aim to have all your images and styles embedded in the file. Tools like Pandoc (using the --self-contained flag) can help with this conversion.

By following these guidelines, you help ensure that your articles display correctly and remain accessible on IPFS.
