Startin'blox is a set of tools based on `Web Components <https://www.webcomponents.org/>`__ and `Linked Data conventions <https://www.w3.org/standards/semanticweb/data>`__ to create applications compatibles with the `SOLID specifications <https://github.com/solid/solid-spec/>`__.
Those tools are developed by the cooperative of the same name.
We are all, as users, captive to the digital platforms we use, attached to them by the network effect over which they have a monopoly.
Thanks to W3C and `the work of Tim Berners-Lee <https://solid.mit.edu/>`__, an alternative is possible. The new web standards allow the network effect to be shared between the different digital tools and give us back total control over our personal data.
**Startin'blox has set itself the mission of precipitating the advent of this new type of digital platform.**
To be sure to speak the same language throughout the documentation,
you’ll find any tricky vocabulary on this graphic glossary.
