    I had to read what Berners-Lee's solution "Solid Protocol" was all about.

    https://solidproject.org/

    "Solid is a file system for the Web ... Solid lets you put documents into an online file system where you have control over which people, applications, and AI agents can read and edit them. Users have personal online data stores called Pods. Solid applications can read and write documents directly from your Pod. You choose which applications to use with your data rather than being locked into specific platforms."
