ProvenDocs is a free to use, open source tool for putting your documents on the blockchain with ease. ProvenDocs also encourages having multiple versions of your documents and being able to easily explore these versions, each of which is immutably placed on the block chain. All of this is fully powered and supported by ProvenDB.
If you do want to assert the state of your Document at a certain point in time, ProvenDocs will also create easy to read, detailed specifications of how and when the Document was placed on the Blockchain.
ProvenDocs is publicly avaliable at www.ProvenDocs.com.
This repository exists to serve as an example of the kind of application we believe can be built on top of the powerful block chain enabled database that is ProvenDB.

Unfortunately, ProvenDocs cannot currently be run natively without modifcations. This is because to create a full, secure service it has been tighly coupled with the ProvenDocs platform. However, with some modifications (detailed below) you can run your own version of ProvenDocs. If you wish to run or create an application on top of ProvenDB, we recommend using this repository as a starting point. We plan to create a more modular version of ProvenDocs in upcoming releases.
The following dependencies may work at other versions, however these are the known good versions:
There are a number of environment variables required to run ProvenDocs on your local machine, these variables are details here.
