Discuss Solid and Blockstack
cwackerfuss opened this issue · comments
This site was featured on the front page of Hacker News this evening: https://solid.mit.edu
The intro reads:
"Solid is an exciting new project led by Prof. Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, taking place at MIT. The project aims to radically change the way Web applications work today, resulting in true data ownership as well as improved privacy"
Reading through the site, it sounds like theres some overlap between what Solid and Blockstack aim to accomplish.
Just wanted to start a conversation here around Solid. Anyone have thoughts?

Here's the Hacker News discussion. Excellent opinions and material there about current opinions on data ownership.
Blockstack was also mentioned:
Thoroughly documented spec:

What do you think about posting this in the forum? https://forum.blockstack.org
(generally discussions belong there, action item type things belong on github)
Thanks, very good point @larrysalibra! Closing this.
