Just saying hello

Hey there SoLiD community! My name is Nicholas (also @Nigel from the safenetforum) and I’m working with a dev on building a decentralized music player on the SAFE Network, which you can see my original post on the SAFE forums here. That demo is a bit dated and we’re completely rebuilding it with SAFE’s new API’s and their work with integrating SoLiD so that our application, along with all others on SAFE can easily access the powers/benefits of storing data in RDF! We’ll be using JSON-LD and some of the more well known ontologies for music and we’ll be sharing our journey with some of Maidsafe’s team working on making RDF, XOR URL’s, etc, as easy, and accessible as possible for app developers.

Personally I’m really excited and like quite a few other SAFEr’s we see a great opportunity for cross pollination. The SAFE Network is the perfect place for SoLiD as it can be highly accessible, baked right in, auth is already taken care of, storage of a users data is simple and taken care of. I like that we have a fresh start with SAFE too. Obviously the legacy internet could really use some help and it shouldn’t be entirely abandoned but the SAFE Network is the perfect medium to show the true power of RDF and socially linked data through apps, blogs, music, all data!

Hope I’m not coming on too strong here but I would just like to reiterate how important I think the work you’re doing is going forward and hope we as a community of like minded individuals with very similar goals, can show the world together that everyone can own their data, privately, securely, and have the benefits of SoLiD tech, without even having to think about it. :slightly_smiling_face:

Cheers everyone! Onward and upward.
