So my tablet is actually a Kindle Fire, which is based on Android 11. It does show one notice, telling me that a wiki is running in the background.
Edit: Actually there are two notices. A second notice tells me that sync is running.
So notices are showing for the older tablet, but not for the phone.
Can the android share option be developed a little more so that we can clip contents to the wiki from phone itself… There are web clippers extensions available in Firefox for Android like the obsidian clipper and linonetwo tidgi clipper… Can you take inspiration from them and add a few more features to the android share menu like ability to add type field as markdown or wikitext (similar to the tag option available currently) and to copy contents from the webpage into the text field of the imported tiddler in markdown format. In the near future there will be a official markdown to wikitext converter in the core. So we can easily convert such imported markdown files into wikitext if needed in the future.
On further testing, I found that I can use the copy to clipboard option (in markdown format) from obsidian clipper itself and send the clipboard content to tiddlydesktop-rs app. What I need is only an option to set the type as text/markdown from the android share menu itself
Ah! Basically, you’d need the option in the tiddlydesktop-rs “Share” menu to choose the tiddler type.
That’s doable.
On 0.7.15 . It seems to be resource intensive, even while there is not that much going. Lot’s of activity in the terminal, and HTOP tells me it’s running 9% of CPU capacity, and it seems like it might be triggering a lot of xorg activity too.

I have a large node js wiki in my laptop. I want to add tiddlers to this wiki in phone using android share feature. But I don’t want to fully load all the tiddlers into the app due to the size of the wiki. Is it possible to only import tiddlers via Android share option ?
You would need an option to sync only one-way, from Android to Desktop but not from Desktop to Android.
Currently Sync is bidirectional and there’s no such option you’re asking for.
But it would make sense to have it as an option, yes.
I’ll see what I can do.
This is an interesting request specifically with the desktop having a large folder wiki and a minimalist or selective wiki on my android. of course we may only need this if the mobile or tablet can’t handle the larger wiki.
it would be helpful if the tiddlers to be shared with the device could be specified by a filter to assist integration with existing wikis and for example latest or flagged Todo items or an address tiddler.
On reflection though we could build a saver in the desktop version to generate a fresh wiki with fresh content and save over a single wikifile that is synced with One or more devices mobile/tablet in my case.
Some time soon I may post a review and acclaim for what @BurningTreeC has achieved here, especially with simultaneous edit of a tiddler across a relay. A long sought set of features.

I set up the latest desktop and android. I set up 2 files on Android and a Room. Then I closed everything via the task list, intending to come back later and do some testing.
Came back later and all my settings were gone!
Set up new file and then closed everything. Came back and my original settings had been restored!
I know we had a similar problem on the desktop, where settings would disappear and then come back.

Desktop on “receive”. Phone on default (bidirectional). Closed connected wiki on phone. Create wiki on desktop.
When wiki on phone is re-opened, it receives the new tiddlers despite the desktop setting.
I saw the option for one way sync in the recent update … I will test it out when I am back home… Thanks for the quick update @BurningTreeC
@BurningTreeC can you make templates for Android share from common webpages like x.com, talk-tiddlywiki forum, youtube, images copied to clipboard etc. Separate templates for each of these situations. Currently the tiddlers imported by sharing from these sites have unwanted contents in the text field which are not useful. If certain metadata can also be extracted from these shared contents and added as tiddler fields, it would be useful. That would make our life easier so that we don’t have to keep on editing the tiddlers on desktop those are imported using android share from our phone
Hi @arunnbabu81
I can only make the app choose automatically which template to use by domain.
Currently it scrapes the webpage’s metadata and includes that.
You will probably really want a mechanism to control it yourself and that’s what I would like to offer.
Let me think about it
This is one thing that is hugely missing for Tiddlywiki compared to other note taking apps… Easy note taking in mobile phone require an efficient and speedy android share option with good extraction of clipped data and metadata… Eagerly waiting to see what you will be coming up with

Same as yesterday. If the desktop has “send-only” selected, still receives new tiddlers from phone.
Trying the other way around. Phone set to “send-only”, desktop bi-directional. The phone receives tiddlers created on desktop.
Also just noticed, that when you open a file, the setting reverts to “bi-directional” no matter what you had it set to. You have to make the setting each time, after the file is opened.
Saw the new update with templates and domain rules. Want to learn how to use it effectively. Hope you add a few examples in the app itself which can be deleted if required
When sharing selected text, the provided title is “Shared via”.
The domain matching did not seem to work (I used “sciencenews.org” for testing).
Templates disappear from the manager (usually one template remains). The domain rules disappear entirely.

Template manager throws away your changes. I’m wondering if it’s because the only way to get out of the manager after you’ve saved is to click on the “X”, which it interprets as “cancel”.
