Solid Project: All of your data, under your control

This project is doomed in isolation. It needs to be coupled with at least one major popular/killer service, and preferably more than that. Plus make that as easy as uploading data to “the cloud,” and as transparent, plus “free” to meaningfully compete.

Right now it just looks like technology in search of a problem.

This is a common turn of phrase (which has turned up more than once here, even), but it's not appropriate to describe Solid. Solid is a half-implemented solution to a real problem.

The whole internet was built on this concept. The Web technologies were built long before e-commerce or dating sites start using it

I'm not sure what you mean.
