The main differences compared to Solid, would be the non-decentralized data storage (smartphone) and the active user involvement in each data sharing transaction, meaning the user has to actively scan a QR code (later other forms can be added like NFC, etc.) for the data sharing to take place (as opposed to Solid, where data can be read indefinitely by an app until access is revoked). An extra thing that Qodebeam provides is (user-supervised) write access, meaning a service can also request to save something in the user data store.
Overall, I'd say it's just a (slightly) different approach to the problem of personal data ownership and sharing. Maybe something that would work well as an intermediate step towards something more advanced like the Solid offering. I hope it makes sense.
Edit: I will improve the landing page in the near future, to better show the purpose of it and also to make it less vague.
What I have in mind is also past the boilerplate, as you said, changing the design later, while being able to write pure business logic code. Right now, I'm not there because I didn't properly separate the generated files from the ones the dev has to edit. But that would be next.
Show HN: SaaS-y – a SaaS framework code generator
For about 8 months, I worked on a tool that I needed for generating the boilerplate for my microservice-based apps. Today I am releasing the very immature v0.0.1 version, together with a simple example of its usage. There are thousands of things to further include, but I think the current version is already usable to some decent extent.
I really hope it will come in handy to someone as it did to me. Feel free to criticize it ;)
Happy 2021!
