TiddlyDesktop-RS -> TiddlyDesktop overhaul

,

You need to get the codemirror 6 plugins, both the editor and edit-text (Simple Engine) plugins from here currently (as long as they are not TiddlyWiki5 core plugins):

Setting up a relay server seems like a major hurdle for most people. Maybe there could be a community server at tiddlywiki.org .

Wondering if machines sharing a VPN subnet (e.g. TailScale) would be able to use the local connection option.

I’ve set up a relay server at wss://relay.tiddlydesktop-rs.com:8443

These should probably be in the Notes section above.

So the trick is that you have to start the path like /mypath .

But then you get these 404 errors:

Also, you apparently can’t run two instances with the same port but different paths, which obviates the main benefit of specifying a path – not having to memorise port numbers.

Oddly, by adding a path, it forced the authentication screen to come up, which doesn’t come up otherwise when using the “(anon)” token.

These are some Node.js tiddlywiki.js issues I need to investigate and figure out, thanks

48

I’m launching like:

./nw --ozone-platform=x11

But still, when I tried to drag/drop plugins into the TD based test page (node.js style), the dropped items appeared in the import list as “Untitled”. I had to drag and drop into the web browser in order to transfer the plugins.

Hi @Mark_S
There’s also an open PR on the TiddlyWiki5 side that fixes that

@Mark_S @BurningTreeC how to test this on windows… Can you tell the steps to follow… I think @Mark_S has tried once on windows

51

I think you would need a linux-like system to compile – like cygwin.

If you’re willing to put 7zip on your system, I might be able to share a link to a compiled version. It needs to be 7zip because Windows zip doesn’t offer password protection, and the package needs to be password protected for technical reasons.

Thanks to @Mark_S . I was able to install the app…the first loading of the app took may be 15 to 20 sec. Loading of the app on subsequent reloads was instantaneous…will report any bugs if i find anything on my further testing

Hi @arunnbabu81
did you maybe have the original TiddlyDesktop installed before?
Because the new one may migrate its database to a new version which would explain the slow first startup. It’s only a guess though.
