# Community Solid Server
Implementation of the Solid server.
An open and modular implementation of the [Solid specifications](https://solid.github.io/specification/)
The architecture is based on the description [here](https://github.com/RubenVerborgh/solid-server-architecture).
We follow the Inrupt [coding standards](https://github.com/inrupt/public-documentation/blob/master/coding-conventions/javascript-coding-standards.md) where feasible.
An initial dummy implementation with some examples can be found [here](https://github.com/RubenVerborgh/solid-server-ts).
- Community Solid Server is open software
to provide people with their own data pod.
- It will give developers an environment
to create and test new Solid applications.
- Its modular architecture will allows us
to try out new ideas on the server side
and thereby shape the future of Solid.
## Current status
This software is in **alpha status**,
which means it is **too early for use with Solid apps**.
However, you can already boot up the server,
play around with it,
and check how it is made.
