Description

I am following your developer tutorial and signed up for the only listed pod provider Inrupt Pod Spaces. On the next page, "Building your first Solid app", it says:

NOTE: If your Pod is not on https://solidcommunity.net, modify the value of the SOLID_IDENTITY_PROVIDER variable accordingly.

However, it is not clear to me what value I should give SOLID_IDENTITY_PROVIDER now. I tried and failed with https://start.inrupt.com and https://podbrowser.inrupt.com/.

It would be great to update this, otherwise it's kind of a show-stopper very early on 😬
