Solid is designed by alot of people at once, and as expected it is very underpowered, barely any better than WebDav, it has no sovereign identity and data is not encrypted at use, meaning unless you run your own Pod, your host can see everything.
Peergos is great and honestly so very close to the optimal, but it also didn't start with sovereign identity, relying on a centralised PKI, although they plan to mend that, and I don't like that it runs in web browsers for no reason really, and the only way to build apps for it is to build web apps.
Finally Peergos currently has too much latency for my liking and I suspect I will never know if this is a fundamental price of excessive privacy, or an implemtation detail unless I implement some parts of it in Rust and see how fast i can get it to work.
