Solid the comic

[phochste]

I'm planning to do a "Solvember" comic on Twitter : each day of November a new comic about a Solid topic..based on my own notes learning about Solid. It is more form a technical viewpoint .. Are there people here who would like to help me a bit to see if I don't make mistakes, drawing/saying things that are not true?

Here is an example:

I'm a part time comic artist ..next to my phd research on decentralised web.

Great idea / contribution! Please share far and wide. Happy to review.

I'd suggest to not emphasise on "Linked Data Protocol" or "LDP". Perhaps just generally "Linked Data". It is true that Solid Protocol borrows a bit from LDP (and Solid server can be built on top of LDP) but for the most part Solid draws from plain ol' HTTP.

"No need for a server" may be a bit misleading. All applications interact with a server. Perhaps you meant to emphasise that the UI of the application is decoupled from the data on the server.

@csarven wow, thanks for the help if you find time. Here is the stash of drawings I already did. I'll update some based on your input this weekend.

Will go over.

Have you considered what will be the persistent URL for these?

Does this have its own repo? We could create one under solid/ if necessary.

It'd be great to have an ongoing project providing both visual and auditory explanations of Solid. There was some interest / work in the community in this space - names/links completely escape me right now. I'll have to dig around.

@KyraAssaad , what do you think/advise?

You're welcome to reuse/purpose anything of interest from these visuals:

@csarven I'm willing to store them anywhere. I'm part of the solid organisation (but just for a few days). I don't know of the etiquette here if I can just create my own repo, or add things to this repo.

Wow, great work @phochste! I love your drawing style. This would be really great to highlight in the community and have it live somewhere accessible to newcomers.

With the ongoing redesign of solidproject.org, I believe we can find a place on the site for community-created resources for learning about Solid. Pinging @MarrelleBailey so we can take this into account!

I agree with Kyra and would like to suggest something in addition. I am in the process of writing a glossary of terms and abbreviations aimed at beginners. I have ideas for illustrations but no skillz. Perhaps we could work together to use your drawings as illustrations to accompany the glossary.
