Fedo reports - Decentralized Live News Platform
A decentralized news blog where people can upload articles about what’s happening in their own environment. The goal was to let users share their news while keeping things simple and code-free for me.

Framer build
The Process
Framer: I started by designing the website using Framer (I didn’t have time for Figma). But then came the first big challenge—how do I allow people to submit news articles and get them on the website automatically?
Tally Forms: Since I’m not a developer and didn’t want to write custom code, I needed an easy way to let people upload news. That’s when I found Tally.so—a simple form builder that allows users to upload files and submit information. Perfect!
Airtable: Next, I needed a backend to store all the submissions. Airtable was the perfect solution because it integrates with Tally. I set up an automated process where data from Tally submissions is sent directly to Airtable.
Integration: Finally, I used the Airtable-to-Framer plugin to pull the submitted data into my Framer CMS. With regular syncing, new articles automatically appear on the front end of the website.
What I learnt
Framer is an extremely powerful tool and when used with proper integrations, a lot of systems can be designed and shipped efficiently without writing any piece of code within a short period of time.
Thanks for reading!!
