    From Apps to Autonomy: Operating Systems for True Data Ownership

    Even in open ecosystems like Solid, users often face a choice between the convenience of specialized apps and the flexibility of direct data manipulation. Solid-based operating systems and toolboxes aim to bridge this gap, providing a layer that makes personal data both accessible and actionable.

  2. Browsing your data using PodOS is great, but nothing compares to an app that is tailor-made for the task. That's why PodOS Brower now allows you to open a resource in another app. We also have some exciting new features for dashboards builders.

  3. With the latest PodOS release, we are taking a big leap towards modularity and extensibility. You can now dynamically load Solid Data Modules to add new features to the core system.

  4. Did you know you can use your #Solid Pod to store a Digital Twin of your coffee machine?

    The latest #PodOS release makes it easy to attach classic documents to your things, like a PDF manual, warrenty document or invoice.

    We also bring more life to the dashboards, showing things from your type index.

  5. I've got a promising approach to reactivity for #PodOS on top of a #SolidProject

    1. Additions and removals to the RDF store are exposed as rxjs observables

    2. Observe methods on a store or Thing filter these changes and emit changes in values of interest
    e.g.
    github.com/pod-os/PodOS/blob/3

    3. Custom components listen to the observe methods to update their state and trigger rerender. When disconnected, the corresponding observe methods also stops filtering changes.

  6. now comes with a dark mode 🌃 to spare the eyes of all nighthawks.

    Also the Browser header and navigation bar got a long due overhaul, including a user menu to easily reach the settings and your own user profile.

  7. With PodOS you can now access your data while offline. Opt-in by visiting the Settings page (Button in the footer)

  8. Browser can now be installed as a progressive webapp. Give it a try to have all your data at hand when you need it.

  9. Using elements you can access data on pods without writing a single line of JavaScript. It's as easy as writing thanks to !

    Check out the quick start guide:

  10. Hello Fediverse,

    PodOS now shares updates here — follow us to stay informed!

    PodOS is a Solid-native Web OS that bridges the gap between specialized Solid apps and raw data editing, giving you a flexible and user-friendly way to manage your personal online data.

    Looking forward to connecting with you!

  11. I happily announce, that #PodOS will get funding from @nlnet nlnet.nl/project/PodOS/

    This gives me the great opportunity to add new features to the data browser, provide new elements for you to build custom low-code apps and dashboards and interwine PodOS with specialized apps and the rest of the #Solid ecosystem.

  12. #PodOS Browser has had a kinda "hidden feature" for full text search for some while now, if you add a "private label index" to your WebID profile.

    Today I added a "make findable" feature so that you can manage the things you want to index and find, directly via the UI.

    You still need to create the index manually once, but this will change as well soon.

  13. In part 2 of my pantry app blog series, the app supports opening arbitrary resources and we refactor the code into a #PodOS compatible recipe pane that is also used in a pod browser app.

    #SolidProject

  14. Title cards on #PodOS will look a lot nicer soon. Stay tuned.

  15. Current security measures for #PodOS compatible panes to be loaded within a #SolidProject pod data browser app:

    Avoid triple injection of new panes:
    - Panes must be defined only in user's type registry
    - Links to HTML fragments are only loaded from the pane's document

    Avoid untrusted executable code:
    - Scripts in HTML fragments not executed
    - Web components instead whitelisted by the browser app and lazy loaded

    Still need to trust web components and expect loading of new triples

  16. I did a bit of a redesign for the generic #PodOS data browser. Less clutter & redundancy, focus on human-readable labels & information, while all details can still be accessed if needed.

  17. #PodOS Browser now has a nicer start page, that helps you getting started and dive into the #Solid web of data.

  18. My #PodOS apps are becoming complex enough that multiple components are needed.

    Rather than building larger/higher level web components, I'm finding that a htmx-like approach works well - though all I'm using is loading static html content on a trigger.

    <show-if
    typeof="as:Note"
    src="mastodon-note.html">

    The html component only needs to know the active resource and triple store, which are received via a PodOS resource subscription event.
    No props, but I haven't needed them either

  19. Given I'm aiming for UI rather than form generation, I do want to be able to edit HTML layout after all - one off UI generation isn't enough. Embedding editors for this obviously isn't no-code any more 🤣

    I also found UI generation from a shape to encourage use of smallest possible building blocks - displaying individual RDF properties.

    #PodOS currently shines for higher level components - I want to be able to use them even if I'm not ready to make decisions about individual building blocks

  20. Released a new version of the #PodOS Browser, which makes browsing through the files and folders in #Solid Pods more convenient.

    Generic views can render all kinds of things in your pod, like recipes, activities, notes, ... More specialized views are on the roadmap.

  22. There is also a new #PracticalSolid episode about the #PodOS search feature. Check it out and (⚠ bad pun incoming) let me know how you find it! 😉

  23. 🔎 Finding things in your #Solid Pod has become easier with #PodOS 🎉

    To get started just hit the "Make this findable" button next to the nav bar. A search index will be automatically created, no need to edit raw data anymore.

    Start typing the name of a thing into the nav bar to find back to it. You can do this with anything on the Solid Web: Things on your own Pods as well as elsewhere on the web. It's a great new way to organize stuff that matters to you.

  24. Imagine you could browse through all your online data like through the files on your file system. With #Solid and #PodOS you can!

    Specialized apps are most useful for specific tasks, but a generic app like PodOS Browser allows you to access and make use of your data in ways those apps did not anticipate.

  25. Probably not new #LinkedData ideas, but I've had two big realisations prompted by experimenting with #PodOS

    1) I find it easier to build interfaces driven by components to which I have bound specific data rather than focusing on how I am navigating the knowledge graph

    2) In an RDF world, this naturally happens by following predicates, and I want this level of control *in addition to* binding higher level shapes.

    (Pls excuse rough diagrams)

  26. Rather than waiting for bugs to be fixed, here's a WIP note editor I've been working on and using, working with a #SolidProject pod.

    jg10.solidcommunity.net/notes/

    Provides a Google Keep-like list of cards, but built on a folder of plain text files, inspired by the now defunct Denkzettel app
    web.archive.org/web/2022081908

    A text-loader & (buggy) virtualised list component do most interaction with the server, leveraging #PodOS

    Migrating my notes to this app involved copying my text files into my pod.

  27. I'm experimenting with "open with" at web scale using #SolidProject

    Type registrations on my pod specify an app to use for a given RDF class, in the form of a uri prefix

    When I search using #PodOS, a custom component links to the apps I can use to open the result.

    Just like other OS, building "open with" into each of my apps lowers barriers to jumping to completely different resources, rather than just those the app can handle
