Tim Berners-Lee recently announced Solid. How much is this different from ipfs and will it be possible to use them together?
The technical spec makes it sound as though it does not compete with IPFS, since everything seems to be done in the usual single-server-over-HTTP regime, which makes me think that it should be able to be used on top of IPFS instead with minimal pain. Really the decentralized part seems to be the access to the data, not the storage of the data itself, which is a key value-add for IPFS.
One unfortunate thing is that they have come up with their own version of IPLD called Linked Data, so I'm not sure how that would interface with IPFS's content addressing solution.
I expect the first place more answers will show up is this forum thread.
