Quine 3 - beta - for iOS, iPadOS and macOS - Invitation

I hope it is okay to post this info / request on Talk TW - if not please just let me know.

Quine 3 is now in “beta”. It’s been in development for over a year, mostly waiting for various updates in macOS and iOS, all of which were resolved in macOS 15.5 and iOS 18.5. Quine 3 is a complete rewrite of the core Quine code, essentially modernizing to align with the broad direction of Apple Swift and SwiftUI - in terms of stability, performance, and portability. I’ve been using Quine 3 on macOS since the first draft app, about a week into the project; the same for Quine 3 on iPadOS. It achieves certain things that Quine 2 could not do, but which will become more important going forward, especially gearing up for other platforms and integration with things like Apple Intelligence.

At this time, I can take on a small number of beta users. I’d say a maximum of 5 for now. I’d like to move fast and get this into the App Store in a matter of weeks. I usually send out incremental builds a few times per week - and limit to once per day.

Please, if anyone is interested in participating in the beta, please message me here on Talk TW.

And to reiterate - if this is not the right place to be offering this, please just let me know. While the seed of TWEdit, and then Quine, was my own desire to have TiddlyWiki on iOS, the purpose quickly became far more focused on getting the tool out to the TiddlyWiki community. To the extent I can, I’d like to make sure the work tackles more than just my own limited needs.

Cheers - Chris.

Hi Chris,
This is the exact right place to announce topics like this one. And thanks for sharing you work with the community. I am sure it will be highly appreciated.

Hey Chris - exciting! As a daily user, I’m curious to hear - what platforms will the app support, besides iOS / iPadOS / macOS? What new features are you adding to Quine?

The goal is any Apple platform - which is the reason for the big push rewriting everything in SwiftUI. For now macOS and iOS. One immediate side-effect is that Quine 3 now screen shares nicely with Apple TV, which turns out to be pretty handy for presenting directly from TiddlyWiki and entertaining friends and family with your latest TiddlyWiki filter expressions :wink:

Thank you Mario :slight_smile:
