Are you a developer and do you want to share lists of movies with your friends? Check out Media Kraken Viewer: noeldemartin.github.io/media-k

@noeldemartin suppose Media Kraken accepted a URL param pointing to a static site that by necessity doesn't provide server-side support for SOLID but nonetheless contains publicly available, structured data.

I've got a sketch for how to achieve this; it also ameliorates frustration over how WHATWG is handling <github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues>. I'm pretty sure that a big source of friction for both SOLID and remoteStorage adoption is how unaccommodating the specs are to people with static sites.

@colby Hey, following up on this. I've created a repo with my list of movies and it works with Media Kraken :). I didn't have to modify anything in the app for this to work!

@noeldemartin neat, nice to hear/see (I clicked through and poked it). When I tested before, it was by serving static files with Python's SimpleHTTPServer. I'll prod some more and send patches if I narrow down discrepancies that should cause it to work with one and not the other.

(Autonomous Data as a conceptually distinct "movement" not necessarily tied to the particulars of Solid seems like a good idea.)

@colby Yeah Autonomous Data is not the same as Solid, but I have to say that I thought about it before I knew that Solid existed. Once I found about Solid, I thought the vision was so close that I'd focus my efforts on that instead of building my own thing. It's still useful to keep in mind though, maybe some day I'll do something more with it. But not in the foreseeable future.
