#PodOS 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.

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

I've started a draft spec defining high level processing and rendering rules to bind an RDF graph to HTML elements.

The UI data binding is specified using HTML attributes, which when hydrated provides valid RDFa.

The idea is to enable bringing pages of data together within a single document

Still early days, but here's the description of a subject-connected list

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

https://browser.pod-os.org

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

Check out the quick start guide:

Please welcome @PodOS to the Fediverse Follow it to keep updated about it's development and get interesting tips and tricks about what you can do with it and the #Solid ecosystem.

I happily announce, that #PodOS will get funding from @nlnet https://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.

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.

#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.

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.

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

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.

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

I am going to show you a super power of Solid: Reusing data in different apps. We do not have to stick with SolidOS, but can use other apps in parallel on the same data.

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.

https://jg10.solidcommunity.net/notes/notes2.html

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

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.

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
