If accept the learning curve of Tiddlywiki is not short and ignore it for now, and also appreciating all great and lovely features of it! What is the worst feature of Tiddlywiki, the one makes you frustrated?

[image] TiddlyTitch: As far as I grasp it, there is, finally, a new API for browsers in development that looks like it might give us back what we lost (basically invocation of programs) a few years ago?? I don’t think so. That’s a security problem. There is a new API, that allows chrome-based…

[image] pmario: I don’t think so. That’s a security problem. There is a new API, that allows chrome-based browsers to write files directly to the harddisk, with a “user opt-in” mechanism. It’s named “The File System Access API”. There is a TW plugin already. Thankyou for that! You are always …

[image] TiddlyTitch: The price of doing that (for security reasons, I guess?) is you need to install a platform specific “back-end” that handles the O/S integration. Exactly. … The FF AddOn can only send “data” to “that” particular program. The mechanism is called Native Messaging … It’s “kin…

[image] pmario: So the browser can only send “do this” and “do that” requests to the native app. The app takes care, that those actions are not “hostile” … BUT If you allow the browser to create scripts that are then executed in the OS you basically “nullify” the only security mechanism in pla…

More documentation and better examples would be nice. I’ve seen so many examples and would have no idea how to implement them because I only get to see a small chunk of the code.

very nice flexibility, which is why i use it. and im very glad it exists. the people on these forums i’ve noticed are actually competent to some level in programming. but its far from perfect solution for me (and people like me). to start - its supre geeky. its the linux of note taking things. i sp…

@GRF its great to get your feedback, it is after all about our own “lived experience” but with respect few if any of your issues reman issues for me because there are solutions and methods., some much simpler than you can imagine. It is always easier to do the way we already know initially, but I c…

[image] TW_Tones: It is always easier to do the way we already know initially, but I can assure you once you learn more tiddlywiki has a substantial payback. i agree. and i hope that day comes for me too. its bcz ive seen good examples with the tool of whats poss, that i keep coming back - h…

Hi GRF, check out the documentation at Grok TiddlyWiki Grok TiddlyWiki — Build a deep, lasting understanding of TiddlyWiki I have a file where I have added examples and explanations of how to do things: Documenting TW — a non-linear personal web notebook Hope these help!

[image] DaveGifford: Hope these help! i hope they do too! thx @DaveGifford for the links. will try to go through it. slowly… its a lot of content!
