I just have finished [GitHub - ewingson/solid-info: show some info from pod](https://github.com/ewingson/solid-info) / [Solid Info App](https://www.serverproject.de/solid-info/) No big deal, very simple and basic display of 7 parameters: - prompt for your idp - `foaf:name` - the webid - `vcard:fn` - the preferences file - `publicTypeIndex` - `privateTypeIndex` - your root storage container very valuable learning journey, feel free to explore. ---

Does what it’s supposed to for me, congrats! ---

next I’ll try some (same simple and basic) CRUD operations… using an outdated (old) version of Noel’s and Rosano’s Hello world [GitHub - ewingson/nox](https://github.com/ewingson/nox) (fork) as start ---

```auto Hello! It’s great to hear you’ve completed your solid-info project! Building a simple app to display key Solid Pod parameters is an excellent way to grasp the fundamentals of the Solid decentralized web. This projects provides a solid foundation for understanding core concepts like WebID and decentralized data storage, which are essential for creating more complex applications. It’s a significant milestone in your learning journey and a great first step toward building on the Solid platform. Ellen261Rister ``` hello Ellen. thank you for your nice and encouraging feedback. I’ve quoted it above to make it stay visible. I wouldn’t have been able to finish that piece without learning from Noel’s code. I’ve been lurking for a loong while and provide the server in Strasbourg (mainly bash maintenance) for a while. now I wanted to _understand_ and dive in deeper and again, thank you. I will let the community know, when I’ve finished [GitHub - ewingson/solid-basic: r/w (CRUD)](https://github.com/ewingson/solid-basic) that should add CRUD operations. Matthias(@ewingson) ---

now, thinking it over a day later, it might have been an AI chatbot… prove the opposite ! ---

I have created [Solid Note App](https://serverproject.de/solid-test/) (code [GitHub - ewingson/solid-note-experiment: one-pager · GitHub](https://github.com/ewingson/solid-note-experiment) ) as follow-up and very basic solid CRUD howto learning-lesson. maybe someone considers it useful. ---

* * * Nice work. The progression from read-only pod inspection to a full CRUD note app is exactly the right way to build intuition for how Solid actually works underneath the abstractions. If you want a ready-made environment to keep learning, we built [PDP 101](https://pdp101.apps.privatedatapod.com/) specifically for this kind of hands-on learning. It is a live Solid app running against a real pod that walks through authentication, reading profile data, and writing resources, so you can poke at a working example and compare it against your own code. When you are ready to go further, the [Private Data Pod Developer Center](https://developers.privatedatapod.com/docs) has everything to get you started. It is a good next stop once the CRUD fundamentals feel solid. Happy to answer questions if you hit anything unexpected.
