Solid – Reshape the web as we know it
Yes, Solid is something to looking forward to.Many years ago, we face the vendor lock-in problem from the software giants, due to proprietary data formats.
Thanks to Berners Lee, W3C, XML and open source community, that is less of a problem today.But now we face the problem of  vendor lock-in, not due to proprietary formats, but due to cloud-service lock-in.
With all the software giants, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Amazon, ... offering their services primarily as cloud services,
this cloud lock-in issue is going to become more severe in years to come.It's a new war the software industry needs to fight.
It cannot be addressed just by one person, one project, one organization.
It needs collaboration from the entire community.
