GitHub Saver: for nodejs

#1

My first impression of seeing github saver in nodejs tiddlywiki is that it only supports single files, not nodejs. The default configuration of github saver is automatic saving. I have never seen it take effect, and it does not meet my needs because automatic saving will be very frequent.

But when I ran nodejs tiddlywiki in electron, I unexpectedly found that ctrl + s can trigger the saving of github save, and it works very well.

Nodejs wiki should use sync-adaptor for max performance. And using github saver will cause huge diff. But to directly sync to github, there should be able to be an interval for sync-adaptor, so won’t cause too much git commits. This is hard, so there is currently no github sync-adaptor.

I have barely investigated the various modules for saving/synching wikis. Node works well for me, with git commits as I feel necessary. But in the next few months, I’d like to figure out how to build what would seem to me an ideal scenario:

What I’d like:

  • Have the wiki running in the Node server, with it’s discrete small files
  • Sync changes from multiple user, or at least add a notification that there are changes to be synced. (These syncs should be relatively rare for my use-case, but they could happen, and it’s a problem worth solving.)
  • On demand, be able to save changes to git
  • After a (configurable) period of inactivity, automatically save all changes to git
  • Have a way to tag a release version in git, including the ability to update the semantic version in package.json (2.4.13 → 2.4.14 → 2.5.0 → 2.5.1 → 3.0.0 in an intuitive in-wiki manner)

I don’t know if any of the tools out there cover a significant subset of these requirements.
