Hi all
Is there a TW plugin that imitates TikTok (or Instagram reels) for mobile? That is, that transcludes the text of a random tiddler, taking up the whole screen, and you can swipe up to get another random tiddler, etc. And with the tags on display at the bottom so you can swipe through only random tiddlers from that tag, and then a home button to go back to swiping through all random tiddlers. Other features like Likes and Share buttons optional…
I thought of this because I tried out the Deepstash app, thinking it would be an app where you swipe through a bunch of random quotes from books. It was not. But then it got me thinking…
[edit: might be a good way to introduce the young’uns to TiddlyWiki, having a few TikklyTokky TiddlyWikis out there to get them hooked…]
My personal backlog of TW work is huge, and I’m getting little time to work on it. (Local politics is all-consuming at the moment.)
However, this is going on that list, and nowhere near the bottom. I think this would be a fantastic idea, and I have a few uses of my own in mind. And for the record, I hate TikTok!
Wow, great to hear of your enthusiasm for my idea! I don’t like TikTok either, although I admit I get sucked in once in a while by Instagram Reels, which is basically the same thing.
The random tiddler functionality has been discussed a few times and solutions made.
Swiping may exist in a mobile theme. if not a generic swipe would be a useful modular solution, but how would it work on non touch devices? Perhaps left and right buttons that overlay content.
There are various image and tiddler display modes that may support your desired views.
I dont use or care for ticktok however i see value in a generic tool, using swipe for selection regardless of what and how it is displayed. Imagin a filter random or otherwise that lists items and swiping adds a left or right tag.
- i may use this to subselect tasks to action now or later.
