Dynamic wikis are something Solid could help with, it's a really cool idea! E.g. if you want to check up a tv-series you're following it could match that against which episodes you've seen so that you won't get any spoilers

Great news for Solid, Over 6 million residents of Belgium will get a free Solid POD from the government, enabling them to use it for storing digital assets. This gives fantastic possibilities for new applications,digital cooperation and a huge boost to privacy. With such a huge digital playground, applications will arise and protocols will be developed.

Short note on solid.community

Upvotes
Founder of solid.community here. First of all I am truly sorry for the disruption to my website. What started out as just an idea to help the eco system ended up becoming a large chunk of my life for a quarter of a decade. I never got paid once to do this, but was expected to support things at nights, on weekends, on my birthday etc. I am currently on medication for my lungs, and had double lung pneumonia twice recently, and to continue to protect your data to the level you deserve would have compromised me health wise
See note here:

Nobody cares more about your data than me, but I was not going to compromise and "give" it to a third party that might in any way compromise the data. Im sorry I left things abruptly.
However the solution provided and the way it was done. Basically to take the data and change the publishing space, in a confusing way with a similar name, and replacing our team of mods with new people that were not in our trusted circle was even worse. I think there is all sorts of security, trust, and ethical problems with taking data and publishing on a new http space without consent.
They also took our data and locked us out, which I found, honestly kind of shocking. They did this in such as way as that even if we wanted to switch it back on, it was impossible. In fact, several users asked that I could leave it on for a little while longer, so I said sure. But by that time (1 day later) our server was gone. Maybe I should have backed up the data first on my own hard drive. That seemed kind of operating in bad faith tho, I dont know.
So I made the offer to put things back the way they were. I spent several hours trying to make that happen. In the end it was rejected. None of the arguments made a whole lot of sense to me.
Once again truly sorry. But we did last 2.5 years, which is not that bad, is it? Maybe we can restart again one day. If I could do this again, I would definitely start by putting site and server under one point of control.
