Its a great project and it would solve a lot of problems we face today for sure.
But i fear it will suffer with a problem of adoption.<p>People had to learn HTML and HTTP back in the day, because it was the thing that would turn possible to transfer information through the wire with a platform called browser.<p>It was the same with the Windows API, VB, Delphi or Android and the iPhone is today.<p>People will learn that thing not because it will 'save the world', sure some will, but for more pragmatic reasons. So you also have to offer those pragmatic reasons to people, because those reasons are also important after all.<p>I know TBL was more or less on the "hippie" side of the web standards and it was very important to the web's core and foundation on the right track.<p>But i was not because of the HTML standard was great as a piece of technology, but the energy and the people that formed around it made it happen through the patient iteration over browsers, until browsers became a thing no one could avoid.<p>I'm saying this as somebody working more or less on the same problem, but who have taken a different approach..<p>The problem is hard because the state-of-the-art now is very sophisticated. You will have to compete with browsers and app platforms for mindshare, and i think you only can do it if you propose a new platform where people understand it as a better approach.<p>And i must say, the web alone as it is, is a broken foundation to lay out this sort of thing, for a lot of reasons.<p>So we need a new sort of browser, one that's so different that you actually wont even be able to call it a browser anymore.<p>This is what i'm trying to do. Trying to solve the same sort of problems, but with a different take than Solid.<p>But i must say its pretty hard, because you also have to offer, at least as a starting point, what browsers and application platforms already offer to developer. Along with this, there's a need for a incentive on the part of the user, the ultimate consumer of the thing. And this is also a hard problem, because you will need to offer something people want and dont have already..<p>I think i got this, but only time will tell. And even if the thing is somehow "right", even than you might suffer from lack of adoption as the incentives might not be enough and that 'killer app' that will make the platform boom never shows up.
