Solid Data Kitchen - pod in a box

Work In Progress - everything should work but help may be sketchy.

This native app for Linux, Windows, Mac, and Android turns your computer, phone, or tablet into a Solid pod only you can access. It mounts a local version of Pivot/CSS, a proxy server and the Data-Kitchen frontend. Data Kitchen comes pre-loaded with dozens of Solid apps and widgets including SolidOS and a variety of open source resources - players for the Internet Archive and Wikimedia, access to Mastodon, Peertube, and more.

No setup or install needed, just download and run. Downloads for all platforms are on the releases page. The app checks for new releases at startup and offers to update itself — your pod and settings are never touched by an update.

Features

  • A plugin system : mount apps and widgets by drag and drop
  • A dual-panel pod browser
    • simultaneous logins to multiple WebIDs
    • drag & drop to copy & move between pods
    • login auth saved in your OS's keychain - login once, then nevermore
    • live visual graphs for RDF, Markdown, and Mermaid
  • Entire UI is saved as RDF and is editable through forms
    • All menus, buttons, and interactions in the UI shell are user customizable
    • No RDF or coding knowledge is required of the end user
    • Forms can be auto-generated from SHACL using solid-ui forms
    • Form submissions are self-validating against the SHACL

Android (experimental)

An Android port lives in mobile/ — a Flutter app that runs the same CSS/pivot pod + router + proxy on the phone (via nodejs-mobile) and renders either the dk shell or the SolidOS/mashlib databrowser in a WebView. See mobile/README.md.

Transparency

Although most of this app was designed prior to my use of AI, this version includes refactoring and new code created using a carefully monitored claude Opus 4.8.
