Description
Solid is quicky shaping into a solution for bringing data ownership back into the hands of the user. And yet, despite all the available storage options that are already provided, moving that data from one solution to another is not a solved problem.
The Solid project provides specifications for a different kind of web. By allowing people to store their own data in decentralized data stores (pods), it puts users back in control of which applications or people can access their data. Having a means to migrate data from one pod to another amplifies that control.
In this talk, we will touch on these subjects:
- what is Solid and why it is important
- how Solid is different compared to projects like Mastodon and Diaspora
- which storage solutions the current Solid server implementations provide and related challenges.
- what does a Solid Pod migrator solve
