+
+Recently I've been [working on a Solid task manager](https://noeldemartin.com/tasks/improving-solid-focus-task-manager), but I haven't started to use it in production myself. One big reason why I is that I was using a POD from [solid.community](https://solid.community), but the software was updated without notifying its users and my application was not compatible with the server for a while. It seems to be working now, but this experience taught me how important it is to have control over my data POD.
+
+So I've decided that I will start self-hosting my data POD using [node-solid-server](https://github.com/solid/node-solid-server). This shouldn't be too difficult because I've already been working with it locally for development. However, there are a couple of things that I don't expect to be straight-forward. Like configuring SSL certificates and scheduling backups.

+I've recently [started using my Solid Task Manager in production](https://noeldemartin.com/tasks/configuring-a-self-hosted-solid-pod-server). While I don't consider it finished, it's at a point where I can use it without adding more features. One of the things I want to do in [my Path](https://noeldemartin.com/blog/lessons-learned-musashi-by-eiji-yoshikawa#the-path-and-the-way) is to build the tools to have control in my digital life. I got tired of being at the mercy of others, so I don't want to use anything that doesn't embrace [Autonomous Data](https://noeldemartin.github.io/autonomous-data/). And the next step is to implement a Media Tracker.
+
+At the moment, I am using [TViso](https://www.tviso.com) for tracking TV Shows and Movies, [MyAnimeList](https://myanimelist.net) for Manga and nothing for Books. I am not happy with either of those services, but given the vendor lock-in I can't easily switch to alternatives. This makes a great opportunity to continue expanding my toolbox.
+
+My [appetite](https://basecamp.com/shapeup/1.2-chapter-03#setting-the-appetite) for this task is of 40 hours with 5 weeks in real-time. Keeping this in mind, I'll scope this first version only to tracking Movies.

It has been dead for years, so I've kept my cooking recipes in Evernote and the experience has been subpar. It's time to make it better.
+
+In contrast with my previous Solid apps, this one will have sharing functionality from the beginning - because recipes are made for sharing! One of the things I'm looking forward to explore is [Solid panes](https://github.com/solid/solid-panes), or how to customize the display of a resource in its public url. I'll also make sure that this app works in different PODs, because NSS is not the only option anymore. I'll test with [NSS](https://github.com/solid/node-solid-server), [CSS](https://github.com/solid/community-server/), [ESS](https://inrupt.com/products/enterprise-solid-server/) and [PSS](https://github.com/pdsinterop/php-solid-server).

+And this will be the first time I use Vue 3 in an app, so a lot of things I'm excited for in this task!

+Some months ago I started working on a protocol to build applications that decouple storage from service providers. You can read about that here: [https://noeldemartin.github.io/autonomous-data](https://noeldemartin.github.io/autonomous-data).
+
+Well, one month ago Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of the World Wide Web) [announced](https://medium.com/@timberners_lee/one-small-step-for-the-web-87f92217d085) he's been working on a project called Solid, which is very similar to what I had in mind.
+
+So I'll start working on a simple task manager using Solid to get my feet wet, and I'll decide whether to focus my efforts on Solid or continue developing my protocol.

+One month ago I [implemented a Task Manager using Solid](https://noeldemartin.com/tasks/implementing-a-task-manager-using-solid). It was a proof of concept more than anything, but I got some feedback to improve it and there are some features missing that are essential to have this replace my current task manager. I continue to believe that Solid is really cool, so I'll improve it to the point that I can at least start using it myself.
+
+In particular, these are some of the things I want to work on:
+
+- Improve data management (maybe using [LDFlex](https://rubenverborgh.github.io/LDflex/) or [Soukai](https://noeldemartin.github.io/soukai/)).
+- Improve UX.
+- Improve documentation.
+- Add new features such as editing, deleting, scheduling? etc.

+
+After working with Solid, I confirmed the philosophy is actually the same as the protocol I was creating. It differs only on implementation details. Since the philosophy is to give the control of the data to the user, it should be possible to migrate data between them.
+
+So I've decided to transform the Autonomous Data protocol to a philosophy instead (I know calling it "a philosophy" is confusing, I'll search a better word). In reality that's all it was, because I still hadn't documented any of the implementation details. And I'll rename the implementation I was working on to another protocol compatible with the Autonomous Data philosophy.
