Inrupt - the commercial wing of Tim Berners-Lee's Solid project - has been dithering its way to irrelevance as the social media network recoconfigures itself around it. But late last month while I was away it announced a multi-purpose Data Wallet to host credentials and other essential information. Data wallets already exist - you may, for example, has a Google Wallet - but as the website says, "until now, digital wallets have been siloed "point solutions," requiring different wallets for different purposes." This would be a really useful thing. OK, so do you want one? Weeeell... you'll have to ask for a demo. *facepalm*
