@colby What do you mean with POLP? I don't know what that means.

But yeah, I am assuming that the url belongs to a full-fledged Solid POD (or said differently, that it implements the Solid protocol following the spec). Although I'm not sure why that's a problem or the use-case you're trying to solve.

If you want maybe you can share a link of something you think should work with the Viewer that isn't working and I can take a look :). You can send me a DM if you don't want it to be public.

@colby Well it relies on authentication for the most part, but the Viewer only reads documents. My point in my previous comment is that the application doesn't really know if the url belongs to a static file or not, "static" is only a concept relevant to the server processing the request, but applications making requests don't know if the responses come from a static asset or have been generated by a backend script.

@colby I don't know much about remoteStorage or Webfinger, but as I understand it using a url to a "static" turtle document should work with Media Kraken. From the application's point of view, it cannot tell if it's static or not. As long as a GET request to the provided url returns a turtle document, it should work.

There may be an issue now because I'm assuming that the url to container documents end with a /, but I think you should be able to work around that with static assets.

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

@vinnl I guess you could just stop the deletion process whenever something goes wrong. And if some resources have been lost it should be fine, given that the user was trying to delete everything.

But yeah, I don't think it's such a common use-case, I just need to do it because I often test the golden path with Media Kraken and I have many useless containers with movies that I'd like to clean up xD. But I have seen that I can remove their reference in the type index and that's already useful :).

This week's side project might be useful for Solid developers. It's called Penny, and it allows you to inspect and manipulate data in your Pod.

Give it a try here, and let me know what you think: Penny.VincentTunru.com #Solid #SolidProject

@vinnl Also, It allows you to delete auto-generated things like `ldp:contains` triples from containers, but of course nothing happens. The network request for this returns 500 but I don't see an error in the UI.

@vinnl This is awesome :D I feel like I'll use from now on to interact with my POD :) thanks!

Some improvements I can see:
- It'd be nice to have a button to collapse the blocks under "Things" (maybe even appear collapsed by default).
- I'm missing a button to delete a container with all their contents. I know that's a dangerous operation, but I think having the confirmation you already have for deleting resources is enough.

When did Google start asking for this to watch age-restricted videos? (And how does having a credit card prove that I'm an adult?)

One new tip for this year.

If you do New Year Resolutions, you should also do Last Year Achievements.

You'll be surprised of how many things you achieved that weren't in your resolutions but are worthy of them.

@thenewoil Hey, do you know what happened with this podcast or who was working on it? it seems like all the feeds are dead :/

I've made a simple app to test compatibility with different PODs, if it doesn't work with your Solid account please let me know by opening an issue! ramen.noeldemartin.com

Question for people who subscribe to email newsletters 

@Pete Yeah I've read all of them :) I didn't have that one on my list of favourites though, I'll give it another read!

Seneca's "On Discursiveness in Reading" is one of my favourite letters of his, and I feel the same way about programming. When I find a technology I like, I'd rather stick with it than learning something new. en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Moral

@vinnl @PINE64 I see, yeah I'm the same ship :) Some day I'll give it a try.
