Hi all!

I am developing an app that shows images and that you can (dis)like.

I managed to read the images, and store the seen images on the users pod. Now, if I add a like, I want that other people using the app can see my like on a specific picture.

How do I get my data public, so that other users can see it? Can I publish parts of my POD to public? Do I need to use a server (eg. [https://linkeddatafragments.org](https://linkeddatafragments.org)) where I store a list of images and PODs who liked them?

If you have a tutorial for such things, I would appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!!

> Can I publish parts of my POD to public?

Yes - you can set public read (or even write & append access) to resources and containers in your Pod. You can find docs on how to do that with the Inrupt libraries [here](https://docs.inrupt.com/developer-tools/api/javascript/solid-client/modules/universalAccess.html#setpublicaccess).

This is not required - nor part of the Solid spec at present.
