Status: Production Last Updated: October 2025 Contact/Support: Lovable.dev
1. What Is Your Files and Stuff?
Your Files and Stuff is a blockchain-powered file and folder management system that provides a decentralized, persistent catalog for organizing documents, markdown files, and media. Built on BSV blockchain technology, it enables you to create hierarchical file structures, write markdown content, and attach media via UHRP URLs - all stored immutably with cryptographic verification.
Key Features:
File Management - Create and organize files with markdown support
Folder Hierarchy - Build nested folder structures for logical organization
Markdown Support - Write and preview markdown-formatted documents
Media Integration - Attach images, videos, and audio via UHRP URLs
Blockchain-Backed Storage - Persistent catalog recorded on BSV
Content Preview - View markdown and media directly in the interface
Decentralized Architecture - Files and metadata stored on blockchain infrastructure
UHRP Compatibility - Seamless integration with UHRP Storage protocol
Target Users: Anyone needing organized, blockchain-based file management - content creators building knowledge bases, developers maintaining documentation, researchers organizing notes, educators creating course materials, or anyone seeking decentralized file system alternatives with markdown and media support.
2. Before You Begin
Prerequisites
BSV Wallet: BSV Desktop Wallet for blockchain transactions
Web Browser: Modern browser with JavaScript enabled
BSV Balance: Small amount for file creation and folder operations
UHRP Understanding: Basic familiarity with UHRP URLs for media (helpful but not required)
Markdown Knowledge: Understanding of markdown syntax for formatted documents (optional)
Supported Platforms
Web-based: Access via https://your-files-and-stuff.lovable.app/
Cross-platform: Works on desktop and mobile browsers
No Installation Required: Pure web application
Cloud-Free: No centralized cloud storage dependency
Understanding the System
Before creating your first file or folder, understand these concepts:
File: A document entry that can contain markdown text, metadata, and references to media
Folder: A container for organizing files and other folders hierarchically
Markdown: A lightweight markup language for formatted text (headings, lists, links, etc.)
UHRP URL: A Universal HTTP Resource Protocol link pointing to blockchain-stored media
Blockchain Catalog: Your file/folder structure metadata stored on BSV blockchain
Media Types: Images, videos, and audio files referenced via UHRP links
3. Getting Started: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Access Your Files and Stuff
Navigate to https://your-files-and-stuff.lovable.app/ in your web browser
The main dashboard loads showing your file system
Ensure your BSV Desktop Wallet is running
The interface displays your existing files and folders (empty on first visit)
Step 2: Understanding the Dashboard
The main interface includes:
Root Directory View - Top-level files and folders
Navigation Panel - Browse through folder hierarchy
Action Buttons - Create new files, folders, or media entries
File Preview Area - View file contents and media
Search/Filter - Locate files quickly (if available)
Step 3: Create Your First Folder
Click "Create New Folder" button
A folder creation dialog appears
Enter a folder name:
Use descriptive names (e.g., "Project Documentation", "2025 Notes")
Consider your organizational strategy
Optionally add a description or metadata
Click "Create" or "Confirm"
Approve the blockchain transaction in BSV Desktop
Wait for confirmation
Your new folder appears in the main view
Folder Organization Tips:
Create folders by project, topic, or date
Use nested folders for complex hierarchies
Keep folder names clear and consistent
Plan structure before creating many folders
Step 4: Create a File with Markdown Content
Navigate to the folder where you want to create the file (or stay in root)
Click "Create New File"
Enter file name (e.g., "Meeting Notes", "Project Plan")
Add file extension if desired (.md is common for markdown)
In the content area, write your document using markdown syntax:
Preview your markdown rendering (if preview available)
Click "Save" or "Create File"
Approve the blockchain transaction in BSV Desktop
File is created and stored in blockchain catalog
Markdown Quick Reference:
# Heading- Creates headings (use #, ##, ### for levels)**bold**- Bold text*italic*- Italic text- item- Bullet list[link](url)- Hyperlinks`code`- Inline code
Step 5: Add Media Files via UHRP URLs
Media files (images, videos, audio) are referenced via UHRP URLs rather than uploaded directly:
Click "Add Media"
Select media type:
Image - Photos, graphics, diagrams
Video - Video content
Audio - Sound files, podcasts
Enter the UHRP URL for your media:
Obtain UHRP URLs by uploading media to UHRP Storage first
Example format:
uhrp://[hash]/[filename]
Add media title or description
Optionally specify which file or folder to associate media with
Click "Add" or "Create Media Entry"
Approve blockchain transaction
Media reference is stored in catalog
Getting UHRP URLs:
Use UHRP Storage to upload media first
UHRP Storage provides the URL after upload
Store URLs for future reference in Your Files and Stuff
Media itself lives on UHRP network; catalog stores references
Step 6: Navigate and Organize Your File System
Browse folders by clicking on folder names
Navigate back using breadcrumb navigation or back button
Move files between folders (if feature supported)
Create nested folders within existing folders
Edit file contents by selecting and modifying
Delete items if needed (creates blockchain record of deletion)
Search files using search functionality
Organization Best Practices:
Group related files in themed folders
Use consistent naming conventions
Create index files in folders to describe contents
Maintain folder hierarchy depth that's easy to navigate
Regular maintenance to keep structure clean

5. Troubleshooting & FAQs
Common Issues
File not saving
Blockchain confirmation delay
Wait 30-60 seconds; avoid rapid file creation; check wallet balance
UHRP media not displaying
Invalid UHRP URL
Verify UHRP URL format; ensure media uploaded to UHRP Storage first
Folder hierarchy broken
Navigation state issue
Refresh page; clear browser cache; check blockchain confirmation
Cannot create file
Insufficient BSV balance
Add BSV to wallet for transaction fees
Markdown not rendering
Syntax error in markdown
Check markdown syntax; verify formatting; preview before saving
Lost file system access
Different identity/wallet
Use same wallet/identity as when files were created
Tips for Effective Use
Blockchain Awareness: Each file/folder operation requires blockchain confirmation
UHRP Preparation: Upload media to UHRP Storage before referencing in files
Markdown Preview: Test markdown rendering before finalizing files
Regular Backups: Export important content as backup outside blockchain
Organized Structure: Plan folder hierarchy before creating many files
Identity Consistency: Always use same wallet to maintain file system access
