@dev-blockchain, just circling back to confirm if you are still interested in submitting this proposal. Thanks!

[dev-blockchain]

@ErinOCon Thank you for getting back.

I have updated the Github repository, and it should be working now.

Please let me know if anything else is needed.

Hi @dev-blockchain, Thank you for the update! Have you received a microgrant to support this work previously?

[dev-blockchain]

@ErinOCon No, I did not receive a microgrant previously to support this work.

I participated in the Filecoin Hackathon on Gitcoin, and the team shared the instructions to submit the project in this Github thread to apply for the microgrant.

Thank you for confirming, @dev-blockchain!
