Dapps to Help You While Away the Minutes | New Dapps of the Week, Feb 4, 2020
Happy February and hope you had a great Super Bowl Sunday! Btw, how do you feel about Baby Nut?
These days, it seems like we’re busier than ever. So it’s nice to have a little downtime for ourselves. You can get on apps like Twitter, TikTok, or byte to make time go by faster. But did you know, dapps can also help you fill the tiniest gap of your free time?
If you're looking for some fun or widely creative dapps to while away a few minutes, these new dapps can keep you entertained and inspired while you’re waiting for the next meeting to start or the next train to come.
EasyGIF: A decentralized GIF maker
GIFs are such a fun thing to use and they are everywhere. There are plenty of tools and sites to help you create your own animated GIFs in minutes. Unlike any other tools, EasyGIF is a decentralized platform where you can create GIFs without losing any sensitive information. With the help of EasyGIF, you can turn your photos and videos into GIFs easily and securely.
Here’s how it works: When you launch the dapp for the first time, you’ll start by logging in with your Blockstack ID. Then you can upload the photos or videos that you’d like to use, change GIF duration, add a funny text, edit the text font and style and etc. When you’re done, you get to choose to download and share the GIF or save it to the “My GIFs” library — like your personal information on EasyGIF, it’s fully encrypted, too.
EasyGIF is free to use and no ad watermarks. So whatever you’re a social media marketer or just love creating your own GIFs, EasyGIF deserves a try.
Give Together: Put your rDAI to work doing something good
We’ve seen more and more dapps are built to spread the good cheer. Now you can support a variety of causes through donation dapps like Give Together, a no loss charitable donations powered by rDAI.
All you need to do is activate your DAI on Give Together, and your DAI will be converted to rDAI that allows you to earn interest via Compound. The interest you earn will be donated to the charity of the week, such as Rainforest Trust, Code for America, and much more. If you have some idle DAI and three minutes, why don’t you put your money to work doing something good for others?
Minesweeper: Play a little fun game while you wait
Games are one of the best things you can do while you're waiting at the subway station or grocery store checkout line.
Built on top of Blockstack, Minesweeper is a free-to-play, retro game. If you remember how to play the classic Minesweeper PC game, you will know how to uncover all the cells that don’t contain a bomb on the dapp version of reinvented Minesweeper and avoid stepping on any of those bombs.
Sign in with your Blockstack account to play the game. Your account will be associated with your score. You will get to choose to play a version of Easy, Medium, or Hard.
If you’re interested in games like Minesweeper, you can also check out Fifteen Puzzle and 2048, two other fun board games.
