ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Solid (web decentralization project)

Let's say you have a group of toy cars and you want to play with them together, but your friend who lives far away also wants to play with them. How do you share the toy cars with your friend?

That's where the Solid project comes in. Solid is like a big toy car box that you and your friend can both access from your own computers, but the box is not owned by anyone in particular. Everyone who wants to play with the toy cars can access the box and play with them together.

The toy car box is called a decentralized web, which means that there is no one person or company that controls it. Instead, everyone who uses it helps to keep it running and growing. It's like a playground that you and your friends build together, and you can all play on it whenever you want.

Solid makes it easy for you and your friend to play with the toy cars together because it lets you share information and data securely. You can control who gets to see your toy cars and who doesn't, and you can still play with them even if your friend's computer is turned off.

So, Solid is all about building a decentralized web where people can share information and data with each other without relying on big companies like Facebook or Google. It's like a big toy car box where everyone can play together and have fun.
