The first browser, called WorldWideWeb, was actually a browser/editor.

Mosaic removed the editing functionality, and added more multi media. That lead servers to control all your data, when it should have been the users

Tim's project, Solid, aims to bring back the read and write ability to the browser. Same with nostr client side apps.

At some point it's logical to remake the first browser, and return edit functionality

Yes, the solid people are doing interesting work. https://dokie.li also reminded me a lot about what we have now with highlighter.

I guess if we add some #LinkedData to nostr, we come pretty close to what solid wants to achieve.

Way ahead of you! I helped create Solid, and most of its apps. I'm porting the best bits to nostr

Nostr vocab as Linked data:

Nostr with personal storage:

W3C Nostr Community Group:

Long story, but I designed a pub/sub system over Solid using websockets. Since it was broken, it was easier for me to use nostr, which is why I started using it instead...
