Presentations

We are delighted to announce presentations by Jackson Morgan
<https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacksoncmorgan/> and Niko Bonnieure
<https://nextgraph.org/>

Jackson's talk will cover updates to LDO (https://ldo.js.org), including
native support for Solid, React, and Svelte; link traversal; and a new data
browser.

Niko will present the first version of the framework/SDK and how to develop
web applications based on NextGraph, with access to RDF and SPARQL in the
client-side, based on the wonderful LDO library, that offers a reactive
store for React and Svelte. NextGraph treats data the same way as Solid
Pods do: the user always remains in control of the locality, permissions
and ownership of their data. There is even a full compatibility with Solid
in the works, in partnership with ActivityPods project. Also released
recently was the feature called "Social Queries" that lets end-users and
developers query the data stored by other users in the social network, and
gather aggregated results locally. This can be used to build social apps
like LinkedIn alternatives, social networks, search, suggestions,
classified ads, mutual aid, and more. As always with NextGraph, all the
data is encrypted end-to-end, and it is local-first: it works offline or
with intermittent connectivity.
