Summary
Imagine having your own online storage, which you control. You store information once and decide who can access what, when you need services like mortgage applications or medical care.
This is what Solid can do. It’s a bit like carrying all your data in a rucksack (backpack) with lots of pockets. To access the data, different apps can only open the pocket you allow them to open, rather than taking the whole rucksack. The rest stays private.
Solid lets people take control of their data and combine it to achieve new results. It gives creators new collaborative tools while passing power back to users. It’s technology that returns the web to its original vision of serving people.

How does it work?
Solid is a file system for the Web – in the same way that you can store a PDF on your laptop and then choose to read or edit it using Adobe Acrobat, Chrome, or one of a dozen other applications; 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.
