What Hacker News says

It is not dead, but also not progressing very fast. I think low adoption rate is their biggest hurdle, and subsequent lack of network effects in the development community. Solid based on a bunch of Linked Data standards which find most traction in small academic circles. Few sexy applications or good libraries to build from. The Gitter channels are apparently most active. Web: https://solidproject.org/ Forum: https://forum.solidproject.org/ Gitter channels, etc: https://github.com/solid/information/blob/master/gitter-chat... Repo: https://github.com/solid/solid
In Tim Berners-Lee unveils plan to save the web
What are the optimizations in JMAP that make it faster than, say, Solid? Solid is built on a bunch of W3C Web, Security, and Linked Data Standards; LDP: Linked Data Protocol, JSON-LD: JSON Linked Data, WebID-TLS, REST, WebSockets, LDN: Linked Data Notifications. [1][2] Different worlds, I suppose. There's no reason you couldn't represent RFC5322 data with RDF as JSONLD. There's now a way to do streaming JSON-LD. LDP does paging and querying. Solid supports pubsub with WebSockets and LDN. It may or may not (yet?) be as efficient for synchronization as JMAP, but it's definitely designed for all types of objects with linked data web standards; and client APIs can just parse JSON-LD.

Read the rest
https://jmap.io/ JMAP: JSON Meta Application Protocol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON_Meta_Application_Protocol Is there a OpenAPI Specification for JMAP? There are a bunch of tools for Swagger / OpenAPIs: DRY interactive API docs, server implementations, code generators: https://swagger.io/tools/open-source/ https://openapi.tools/ Does JMAP support labels; such that I don't need to download a message and an attachment and mark it as read twice like labels over IMAP? How does this integrate with webauthn; is that a different layer? (edit) Other email things: openpgpjs; Web Key Directory /.well-known/openpgpkey/*; if there's no webserver on the MX domain, you can use the ACME DNS challenge to get free 3-month certs from LetsEncrypt. https://wiki.gnupg.org/WKD
