Challenge: Make a TW rolling Filibuster?

The challenge is this …

1 – Use TW to download long screeds of political speeches (e.g. from the Strom Thurmond filibuster );

2 – Import them to Tiddlers;

3 – On startup a textual filibuster commences via auto-scroll of those Tiddlers (for 1 hour minimum) and nothing else is visible.

Can it be done?

Just a query, TT.

Perhaps something like TiddlyTools/AutoScroll/Viewer is a good place to start?

It can be used to view any tiddler (long or short), and autoscrolls the entire tiddler’s contents for a duration specified in seconds (e.g., 600=10 minutes). However, it doesn’t do exactly what you requested because it isn’t triggered on startup, and has a dedicated “viewer” interface rather than hiding everything else.

It also has a custom tiddler template, which adds an extra tiddler toolbar button (a spiral) to any tiddler tagged with “autoscroll” (note: the tag value is configurable). Click this button to access the autoscroll controls and press the “down chevron” button to start the scroll.

For an example, see The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark.

Thanks. I will try start it on start-up…
