Pocket is going away... Let's build a replacement with Solid!
Pocket is going away... Let's build a replacement with Solid!
I feel like this one is going to be used in the #SolidProject community a lot: https://xkcd.com/3105/
I've started a draft spec defining high level processing and rendering rules to bind an RDF graph to HTML elements.
The UI data binding is specified using HTML attributes, which when hydrated provides valid RDFa.
The idea is to enable bringing pages of data together within a single document
Still early days, but here's the description of a subject-connected list

There is also a new #PracticalSolid episode about the #PodOS search feature. Check it out and ( bad pun incoming) let me know how you find it!
We just posted a re-recording of the presentation of ActivityPods we did during #FOSDEM 2025. It focus on decentralized architecture, and mentions BlueSky and @nextgraph. It was nice meeting many people involved in the fediverse and #SolidProject !

Too bad this event won't be livestreamed. If you're in Oxford on 26 Feb, try to attend!

On the train to FOSDEM I quickly but finally bashed out a long-planned post on the Solid app I wrote that allows you to post to the Fediverse from your Solid Pod.
Main takeway: cool experiment, but @activitypods have the more feasible approach for now.
Inspired by @noeldemartin , I'm experimenting with my own "now" page describing progress on my current projects related to #SolidProject
https://jg10.solidcommunity.net/devlog/home.html#now
I already use this Mastodon account as a devlog and build a wiki based on this content.
The now page allows for (slightly) longer form reflection as well as being organised by project rather than by topic or as a firehose.

I think there's a tendency for devs to keep thinking in database terms when moving to #SolidProject
What clicked for me is to instead think of #LinkedData in terms of human-sized pages.
Yes, pages still need to offer app performance and few users would edit raw RDF, but a page is still a comfortable bite of content.
Similar to HTML pages but without the presentation layer, I can take one bite at a time, and follow links to find more, with my browser loading and caching extra bites as needed
I wish https://solidproject.org/ made more sense to me.
It just seems like they have taken web-hosting concepts and renamed them all.
What's the actual novelty? No idea; and it's buried in an avalanche of new acronyms.
I be dumb!
We are writing a blog post about ActivityPods v2.
For that, we need your help!
What is it about ActivityPods that feels confusing to you? What do you want to know or understand?
I see you've been to #FOSDEM as well — @noeldemartin gave a talk about #SolidProject there that you might be interested in too: https://archive.fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/sovcloud_from_zero_to_hero_with_solid/

There's now an open PR for adding a Solid back-end to remoteStorage.js so I need an account to test it with one of my apps.
Solid devs/users: what server implementation should I run on my own machine, and is there a popular provider for hosted accounts that I could test with, too?
During my sabbatical, I've decided to try making a Solid Server from scratch to see how complicated it would be... And turns out I got it working in a single day .
It's very experimental, but check it out if you're curious: https://github.com/NoelDeMartin/lss
@scottjenson I would say the #solidproject fits in your description. Or let me clarify; the ultimate goal of the Solid project
@vrandecic
As a community member, I would agree that Inrupt has gone its own path. I think it's also understandable given that #SolidProject 's offering is so generic - a read-write web interface using RDF as a universal API. There are still many research issues to be solved before it's ready for mainstream. In the mean time, I find it effective for #selfdelivery
I think that's fair. As a #SolidProject experimenter, I'd be interested in whether that's mostly associated with RDF, LDP, authentication, WAC/ACP permissions, shape trees - or just the acronyms and jargon over all :-D
