It did feel like a new beginning.. combined with a "that's it?", combined with a "how will they ever get everything online?" At the time, no one was really online or knew what the internet was. Protocols like Gopher, Archie worked ok, and there was a BBS world..
Still, the web just felt unspeakably different to what came before in an indefinable way.
If application logic can be separated from data in Solid, this could be meaningful evolution to the web.
Imagine plugging in all of our existing data in one app or database into any other app or database.
