From scribbled notes to a global revolution - the personal journey behind the World Wide Web’s invention and the unexpected turns along the way. It is both a history and my vision for what comes next.

This is for Everyone isn’t just a story about technology; it’s about possibility.

Available September 9th, pre-order now https://linktr.ee/thisisforeveryone

4/5 We need to *build* on the good with *new* better collaborative apps where social apps are interoperable through standards. @Solid is part of that good ecosystem - thank you to @nlnet funding Solid Protocol apps that are pro-human and to the @ODIHQ which is coordinating to build new apps and data Pod spaces for science and democracy #solidprotocol

5/5 Given rapid advancements in AI, it is critical we build on top of these good systems. Thank you to @mit Dome (one of the coolest stages in Davos) for hosting Inrupt’s John Bruce and me to talk about Charlie, an AI that works for you, built on top of the Solid Protocol. Also heard from other pro-human tech like Polis from @au and the work from Tristan Harris (Center for Humane Technology) at the Project Liberty Future House stage.

3/5 We should also recognise that a lot of the things on the internet are good. The map in my Design Issues note shows the good there is online ⬇️

2/5 Feed manipulation is using addictive algorithms in social media. Embedding addictiveness to these algorithms should be banned ⬇️

Just published a new DesignIssues note on the general vision of what a world will be like with everyone in control of their own data - the Solid Protocol benefits for when you have more than one app that has its data under your control.

@w3cdevs @w3c The submissions viewer https://w3c.github.io/hackathon-tpac-2024/ only seemed to have two of them in the index when I just looked.

@w3cdevs @w3c The sources of them are there but I want to bowser the results as live web pages. The is code to make an index pf them from https://github.com/w3c/hackathon-tpac-2024/blob/main/public/submissions.json but that needs to be updated. And the results page https://w3c.github.io/hackathon-tpac-2024/ needs to be linked from the main README
