I see lots of folks are getting all lathered up and excited over this thing called
Solid Pod and even though the site goes into an explanation of what this is all about ... I am still Clueless!?
Quote:
Solid is decentralized, so there is no central place to “signup”. Instead, you can register an identity and get a POD on a Solid server, anywhere in the world. You can even stand up your own!

Solid Explained
Quote:
Within the Solid ecosystem, you decide where you store your data. Photos you take, comments you write, contacts in your address book, calendar events, how many miles you run each day from your fitness tracker… they’re all stored in your Solid POD. This Solid POD can be in your house or workplace, or with an online Solid POD provider of your choice. Since you own your data, you’re free to move it at any time, without interruption of service.
You give people and your apps permission to read or write to parts of your Solid POD. So whenever you’re opening up a new app, you don’t have to fill out your details ever again: they are read from your POD with your permission. Things saved through one app are available in another: you never have to sync, because your data stays with you.
