At this thread I brought up the problem that Timimi wasn’t working anymore. Actually, I managed to reactivate it and it has continued working at least up to yesterday June 1, but it was said by several in the thread that in June Timimi would no longer be supported, so it is just a matter of time.
There are two possible tasks:
-
for developers wanting to make TiddlyWiki accessible to the non-techie world after Timimi becomes impossible to use, the task is for someone could create a clone of Timimi and figure out how to make it compliant with the new changes in Chrome (and it was suggested other browsers would likely follow Chrome). Actually there was significant discussion in the thread linked above, but I don’t know if it fizzled out or what. But that is something way above my paygrade so I leave that to more capable hands.
-
for Chrome users who want to continue working with TiddlyWiki on Chrome, the task is to decide on which of the alternative savers to use. I am listing the ones mentioned in the thread linked above. The number in parenthesis is to the number of the post in that thread.
a) TiddlyStow (1)
b) TW native saver (1, 38)
c) Rclone with TiddlyWiki (1, 6, 7)
d) Tiddlyhost (15)
e) buggy/savetiddlers (37)
f) Set up a webdav (39)
g) TiddlyWiki-app (43)
h) node.js [not mentioned but I add it here anyway]
i) Bob saver plugin (see post 8 in the current thread)
Most of these will probably not work for me, a non-techie. I have a lot of TiddlyWiki files and like to jump back and forth between them from my bookmarks or from links. I don’t want to have to use the command line to open files. The number of files precludes hosting them on TiddlyHost. Some options do not have instructions clear enough for someone at my level. Some options are limited because my laptop is administered by my employer. But I am going to go through them again and share here afterwards any problems I run into so those of you suffering from the curse of knowledge can see things from a “little guys’” perspective.
Anyway, the other thread got long, so this is an attempt to get the conversation rolling again.
