● Live Solid pod

You're looking at
a real Solid pod.

Everything on this page — and the apps you'll click into — is stored on demo.solid.social as plain files. No middleman cloud. The same shape your own pod would have if you ran npx jspod.

Open the launcher → Run your own pod

Tour the apps

Each tile is a real app installed at a real address. They read and write to this pod's filesystem — and to each other's data shapes.

🏠 home

macOS-style dock of every app on this pod. The launcher.

/public/apps/home/

🛍 store

Catalogue of every app available across every curated bundle.

/public/apps/store/

🪶 plume

Read the blog. Each post is a JSON-LD file on this pod.

/public/apps/plume/

💬 plaza

Group chat, Slack-shaped. Owner-only for this demo.

/public/apps/plaza/

📁 explorer

File browser. See it all as files — because it is.

/public/apps/explorer/

🔀 git

GitHub-style git repo browser, in the browser.

/public/apps/git/

✍️ vellum

Markdown editor that saves to the pod.

/public/apps/vellum/

📰 timeline

Facebook-style social feed — your wall on your pod.

/public/apps/timeline/

🪟 chrome

Window manager and app shelf — desktop-style launcher.

/public/apps/chrome/

What you're actually looking at

No special "demo" backend. The pod is your demo. Every URL below returns real data you can curl right now.

/public/post/ The blog. plume reads this and renders the cards.
/public/plaza/ Every chat message as a JSON-LD file.
/public/apps/ The installed apps. home dock reads this.
/profile/card.jsonld The pod owner's WebID — the address apps use to identify them.
/.acl The pod-root ACL. Who can read what.

Run your own

One command, 60 seconds. Default credentials are me / me, localhost-only, totally safe. Apps auto-install on first run.
