Presentations

We are delighted to announce presentations by Jackson Morgan and Niko Bonnieure

Jackson’s talk will cover updates to LDO (https://ldo.js.org), including native support for Solid, React, and Svelte; link traversal; and a new data browser.

Niko will present the first version of the framework/SDK and how to develop web applications based on NextGraph, with access to RDF and SPARQL in the client-side, based on the wonderful LDO library, that offers a reactive store for React and Svelte. NextGraph treats data the same way as Solid Pods do: the user always remains in control of the locality, permissions and ownership of their data. There is even a full compatibility with Solid in the works, in partnership with ActivityPods project. Also released recently was the feature called “Social Queries” that lets end-users and developers query the data stored by other users in the social network, and gather aggregated results locally. This can be used to build social apps like LinkedIn alternatives, social networks, search, suggestions, classified ads, mutual aid, and more. As always with NextGraph, all the data is encrypted end-to-end, and it is local-first: it works offline or with intermittent connectivity.
