Thanks for mentioning this. Two questions:

1. In your experience, what is the maturity level of Solid?

2. Would you mind sketching out how you would do the integration with Solid? I'm reading over https://solidproject.org/users/get-a-pod but haven't spend a lot of brain cycles on it yet.



You’re welcome!

I’m in the same boat as you - haven’t spent many brain cycles on it yet.

Mozilla Rally would have been the perfect proof-of-concept for putting that idea to use and giving it a shakedown.

Generally, Solid seems to be pretty grounded in its attempt to resolve data sharing privacy concerns.

My understanding is that the implementations would be about the same as using browser storage.

I believe developers would need to approach data access from the perspective of “an infinitely sharded document database - shards are globally-uniquely identifiable - shards are remotely distributed - shards have their own IAM - for each shard, you must register as an authorized user and authenticate to access remote data”
