Auto start Solid application/shell after login

Hello Solid enthusiasts!

I wanted to share an idea we had. We think it would be good to give users a choice what application is started after the login. Something we name the “shell” feature. This could be put in your preferences.

  • When you then migrate to another Solid server, your experience will remain the same.
  • (Startups) building an application could be easier as you could ask new users to change the shell to your application.
  • It would give users more freedom where they end up after login.

Let us know what you think of this.

Kind regards,
Sjoerd

I was working on something recently that may have a place here, but it is not public yet. I do like the idea for having a friendly interface for Solid users. I think a solid-cli would work; especially with something like the cheerxp webvm environment
