#SolidProject

Been toying with a portal, nicknamed Orsus, for people to share their notes stored on caldav servers. This would make it possible for people to have a personal wiki published on the web without dealing with hosting.

The idea is that people share the calendar subscription link to orsus and it will render a personal wiki/garden + RSS feed.

iCal supports most stuff you'd expect from a personal wiki like note linking and tags.

This is kind of like a poor man's version of #SolidProject where the datapod is your caldav server.

The #SolidProject anywhere bookmarklet ends up equivalent to adding remote storage to user scripts.

I might need to revisit the state of mobile support for Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey

Experimenting with a new idea - a #SolidProject anywhere bookmarklet

Click once - login and grant the domain access to (part of) your pod
After login, click a second time to complete login
Subsequent clicks can reuse refresh token

The bookmarklet can then connect any website to your pod, e.g. syncing a backup or auto filling content

I've been experimenting with a Leaflet map that allows using #SolidProject to read and edit data in geohash tiles.

Tiles of varying resolution are loaded when panning and zooming.
By default I'm storing data at 7 character resolution, e.g. /spatial/r/3/9/z/r/t/9/index.ttl

Given that's only 150x150m tiles, it's looking promising to deal with ridiculous detail being added that wouldn't necessarily be appropriate for OpenStreetMap.

I'm quite excited to discover the ClipboardItem API - it would allow copying a formatted link to a #SolidProject resource, possibly even with some metadata.

Pasting a recipe in a supported app could not only mean a human friendly link, but possibly also a custom display that recognises how a recipe can be used - all while respecting the principle of least privilege and not necessarily immediately granting access to the resource itself.

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

A short part 5 in the pantry blog series introduces a pantry history event log as a point of truth - recognising that pantry data will only ever be a partial snapshot because updates are likely to be occasional and incidental as part of other activities.

Why not just look in the fridge?
Because a pantry app can act as a memory aid for what was in the fridge last time it was checked or used.
