Getting started with Tiddlywiki on Fission

I thought I would give Tiddlywiki on Fission a try as I would like to have access to image files and as far as I’m aware that feature is not available at tiddlyhost.com

I tried https://tiddlywiki.fission.app/ and all I see is a spinning logo and the words “authorising with fission”.
How long should you wait for this authorising to finish or is their a problem with this page.

Any help users could offer would be much appreciated.

Have you tried just reloading https://tiddlywiki.fission.app/
If so, does it still ask you to authorize?

This one of my slightly annoying side comments :smiley:

Regarding logon to Fission I’d find it more inviting if you could logon via existing credentials like via Google or Twitter.

Simple fact: I do NOT want to have to maintain yet one more special email address. It is a slight put-off to have to do that.

Just a comment

Yes we unfortunately hit some limits with DNS last night with our production system. Sorry about that!

Hi TT —

You need an email address to sign up, but after that just a username is used with no passwords.

It’s a rather unique peer-to-peer system that is designed this way to not rely on centralized large companies like Twitter or Google, and to provide end to end encryption so no one, including Fission, can access your data.

It’s definitely different from other systems which can make it feel confusing.

We’d like to enable login with other systems but we’re balancing that against our principles: if we can’t do it securely or in a way that gives power to Twitter or Google to block logins we won’t do it.

Appreciate your feedback!

I tried reloading, no success.
@boris
Any idea when the service will be back to normal ?

Loading for me this morning, you should see something like this:

You’ll need to create an account and then after authorise you’re in, where you can create a new edition.

If you did create an account and are having trouble, let me know your username?

I haven’t published a step by step walkthrough precisely because we’re very much still working on the system. Happy to help you get it up and running if you’re adventurous!

Thanks @boris I tried a few moments ago before you put up your last post and it was the same. I’ll give it another try and if successful, let you know

Sorry @boris still no joy. Still seeing spinning logo.

Understood. The advantage of con-joint login is simplification for the end-user. I think there a lot of us now with over 50 logins to maintain. At a certain point you get fed up with adding “just one more” login. This is a generic issue on the net, no reflection on you or Fission.

Best, TT

What!? You’ve only got 50? You must be living a charmed life.

Even with a password manager, it’s frustrating to have to constantly be creating new accounts.

If every account accepted a physical device (security key) then you could do dangerous things like have multiple accounts with the same password.

38% of people would rather clean their bathroom than have to do this.

I’m a trenchant advocate of destroying things you only use once in a month of Sundays.
