@thisismissem Hm I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but the authentication information is exposed through the $solid service. You can check if you're logged in with $solid.loggedIn, for example. And by default it initializes logged out, but you can configure it to auto reconnect on start up.I guess you could say it is a state machine with the following states:- Logged out- Logging in- Logged inMaybe I could improve that and make it more explicit, is that what you mean?

@thisismissem Hm I see what you mean, but I think that's not an issue in my case. There is no "restoring session" state because the $solid service is not ready until the session has been restored (or failed restoring). So by the time the app has booted, you're either "logged in" or "logged out". Services have this concept of "booted", and until they are fully booted the app doesn't even render anything on the screen.

@thisismissem Well it's not super nice because the UI is blocked longer than it should, which is a problem I'm aware of. But it's a trade-off I'm willing to live with for now.Thanks for your feedback, I'll keep it in mind when I work further on this :).

If you're curious about the different approaches to make Solid Apps, @megoth just launched a website comparing some of them. It's also a great resource if you know nothing about Solid and want to learn some basics :). Check it out!https://rdfjs.vercel.app/

I recommended this CSS course last year, and now it's 50% off! https://css-for-js.dev/There's so much content that after a year of starting it I'm still not done :O (I dedicate 1 hour/week). And I still enjoy it like the first day.If you're curious, you can read about my experience thus far: https://noeldemartin.com/tasks/learning-css

Which one is it Deezer? Does my choice really "not affect my experience", or do I have to trade my privacy to play music for free?Seems to me it is the latter.

I just finished migrating my first Solid App to the framework I'm working on, AerogelJS!If you're curious to see how you build an app with the framework, check out the source code.Is it easy to understand? Let me know what you think I could improve!https://github.com/NoelDeMartin/ramen

@nickform Thank you :)The framework is still a work in progress, and I don't even have written any documentation yet so I don't think it would be easy for others to use. But eventually I'd like to do it, and one of the core ideas is that all the "best practices" such as how should a Solid Login behave come baked in with the framework :).

@rosano @jessmartin What do you mean with "interop-pilled"? Does it mean being convinced that it is important? Or learning about it? Or both?Maybe you should add Cambria to the list :) https://www.inkandswitch.com/cambria/

One of the best things you can do to improve the stability of your apps is writing tests, and Cypress is the best tool for the job!To help you with that, I just released a plugin that makes testing Solid Apps super easy. I hope you find it useful :).https://github.com/NoelDeMartin/cypress-solid

In this talk, @aveltens nails THE most important point of Solid. We don't need a killer app, we need an ecosystem of apps that work together!Owning your data is cool and all, but these experiences show the true power of Solid.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCtoWkwSkxI

@martin That's great :) I've been using RSS for ages and I think it's great.A couple of tips, if a website doesn't have an RSS feed you can use something like FetchRSS.com to generate it yourself. And you can also subscribe to any github repo/subfolder with the following url: `github.com/{user}/{repository}/commits/{branch}/{path-to-file-or-folder?}.atom`For example: https://github.com/moodle/moodle/commits/main/local/upgrade.txt.atom

In a couple of months, I'll be attending the 2nd Solid Symposium in Leuven, Belgium. I missed it last year, but I'm looking forward to attending this one! I'll also participate in a session on CRDTs (and maybe one on DX), it should be fun :D.https://events.vito.be/sosy2024

This slide from the SolidLab session says a lot about the Solid Ecosystem and what I struggle with the most as an app developer #sosy24

I finally completed Josh W Comeau's course, and I have to say it's the most comprehensive course I've ever seen. It should be required material for anyone working with CSS (I'm not kidding).And to top it off, it's super fun!100% recommend: https://css-for-js.dev/

Reminder that next month I'll be attending the 2nd #SolidSymposium in Belgium. And I can now confirm that I'll be giving not one, but two talks! One about Developer Experience, and another one about Local-first CRDTs.The registrations are open, I'm looking forward to meet you there :).https://events.vito.be/sosy2024
