Solid26 for Developers

The Solid26 Implementors Guide is your technical starting point. It brings together pinned versions of the core Solid specifications — covering the protocol, identity, authentication, and access control — into a single coherent reference. If you're building a Solid application or server, this is the document that tells you exactly what to target.

The guide is being developed as a work item of the W3C Solid Community Group. You can follow its progress and contribute on GitHub.

Head to dev.solidproject.org for tutorials, libraries, and project templates to help you start building. You'll find step-by-step guides covering React and Next.js, authentication, and hosting your own Solid server — with more being added regularly.

Solid26 is a stable foundation, not a finished product for Solid. The feedback developers give us now will directly shape the standards, tools, and training materials the community builds next. Whether it's a gap in the spec, a rough edge in the tooling, or a pattern that should be a best practice — we want to hear it.

Join one of the feedback groups to work alongside others across sectors, or email solid@theodi.org with your thoughts.
