Ask HN: Why isn't the Solid protocol more popular?

Hacker News - Sat, 11/14/2026 - 5:46am

Reading about decentralised protocols, I found Solid from Tim Berners-Lee: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_project

You can control your data and grant selective access to certain Solid apps. You could pay a monthly fee to store your data or your ISP could offer some GB of storage for free with your telecom package.

So my question is: why it isn't popular or why did it flop?

Show HN: Orty – AI lead qualification for freelancers

Hacker News - Sat, 11/14/2026 - 5:40am

Orty is an AI lead qualification that does 2 things: writes the email for you when you find a client , and helps you to find that client without a database or scraping the web .

Honestly i built it because of a problem i had when i started working in the freelance industry , the problem wasn't finding people because you can find 1,000 people a day and send them an email using AI , but it was finding who is worth it without spending much time on that.

It's pretty easy to explain how it works because i made it easy for people , you either put your key to use Orty and that means bring your subscription with you , or you get 5 credits a month on free plan and 1,000 credits a month on paid plan that uses AI to rate your client out of 100 and see if it fits you. it won't let you scrape the web or get a database of unverified emails that will hit you with this email don't exist .

I did a lot of ratings using orty and it got me people that responded and a client who worked with me , if we can talk about numbers i can say 100 emails a month 12 reply's and 1 client , we are still at our first 20 users and we are going to make it better as we get more users into orty , we don't look to sell your data because we don't need it .

So... how do you find clients for your service as a freelancer ?
