TiddlyWiki-CPL: TiddlyWiki world of Google App Store!

What is TiddlyWiki-CPL?

CPL includes:

An open site containing information, documentation, and user reviews of all collected plugins.

A plugin library that can be installed in your local Wiki, allowing easy download and update of plugins.

An automated update deployment system that checks the version status of all recorded plugins every hour, keeping your plugins up to date.

We collect all the interesting plugins. Whether you’re a plugin author, a happy user who shares, or a user looking for interesting plugins, all are welcome!

Up to now (2022.1.19), CPL has collected 48 plugins from 13 authors, including fishing, echarts, tiddlymap, etc. We are committed to linking all TW users and providing a free and open platform for plugin distribution. The entire service is free of charge, and we try to keep the plugin versions as up-to-date as possible.

Note: Not all plugins have been included by their authors themselves. In fact, anyone can suggest interesting plugins to us. Sharing is the key to CPL!

Want to share your plugins? No problem! We have detailed guidelines on our website!

@Mohammad Hi! The full tutorial for publishing the plugin in CPL has been posted, right here on the site!

It’s very convenient to publish and install plugins using this media, leveraging the Github Actions, everything is automated by the machine.

This will help TW plugins accessible by more non-technical people.

This is what I imagined links.tiddlywiki would be like

Thanks for sharing @Sttot it’s great to see what the Chinese community has built.

I’m keen to launch an official community plugin library this year, and this is inspiring and helpful.

The work last year on the links aggregator was the first phase of the CPL: getting to grips with GitHub Actions, scraping and aggregating.

Great job!
Well-done!

I like CPL and the ease of access and and use of many high quality plugins.
While you are allowed to include any of kookma plugins in CPL, I will study the procedure which seems facilitate the whole processes for maintaining, and distributing

Sttot · January 19, 2022, 8:18am

Glad to hear that! This will bring the TW community even closer together.

Looking forward to any kind of collaboration. We can discuss this topic further!

I like it because it is curated. And it is not too much.

Basically it is organised & not too big.
There is likely a lesson in it’s design to be learnt.

Quick thoughts

It’s convenient to install plugins using CPL. And I’ve been using it for a while and putting up my Fishing plugins.

Sttot · March 23, 2022, 2:37pm

Now CPL has already had 150 plugins+themes!

The process of collecting plugins has been exhilarating, and I’m glad that CPL has made it easy for everyone and helped the authors spread their masterpieces!

Hi, I was searching for my plugins and saw, that no icons are shown.

I did read TW-CPL — 太微插件聚合中心

There is an Icon-URL but no info about the icon itself. So how does the icon have to look like. I’d prefer SVG format.

Given that CPL is mainly in use in China… is there a better/easier, official way to get plugins?
CPL seems like something „core“ TW should be offering or hosting to a wider audience.

Drag & Drop sounds easy but search and click is what non-technical users expect.

3 posts were split to a new topic: MWS – May be Used for a Community Plugin Server

linonetwo · October 28, 2024, 12:48pm

It is build-in in TidGi app, and I recommend most of new users in China to use it, instead of use “Core TW”.

As I recorded, when recommended Empty edition, user retain was very low, and many people leaving QQ group. Bearly 1 leave when 2 in. When we had 300-600 members.
But after mainly recommend TidGi, user retain is high, only 1 leave when 5 in and we have 1.2k QQ group member now.

linonetwo · October 28, 2024, 12:50pm

I realy hope he review more PRs instead of implement a build-in CPL!

pmario · October 28, 2024, 1:16pm

@linonetwo What do we need to get an icon or image at the overview?

vuk · October 28, 2024, 1:26pm

How to follow it and notice when new plugins are added? Does it have something like a plain text file changelog that can be tailed and grepped?

pmario · October 28, 2024, 1:49pm

@linonetwo There are 2 things at CPL that drive me crazy.

If the “home” tiddler is closed, there is no search
Everytime I visit the site the CPU load of my laptop goes up to 20-40% all cores. Which after some time (1 minute or so) the fans start spinning. That’s super annoying.

Add 1: It should be possible to use Empty Story Message to show the “Welcome” tiddler. So there will always be a working search input.

Add 2. It’s the rotating mascot, that causes the problem. If it would stop rotating after eg: 10 seconds, it would stop to be distracting all the time and it would avoid CPU load.

In support of that statement, I’m an experienced developer and find the CPL bewildering (meaning, I don’t have to time to figure what’s going on so I leave). ← that’s feedback, @linonetwo

linonetwo · October 28, 2024, 1:28am

In China, amost all users use CPL, because we recommend all new users to use it, and most of users are new users (There were no much tiddlywiki users before, sadly). So It is safe to include long chain of deps. My layout plugins may even have 3 levels of deps.
For example, there are 2 layouts using hyper-table plugin to display list data. There maybe more layouts using streams procedure to display tree data.

@CodaCoder Simply add your plugin library to the library.json , everything is done by github actions.

For details, just look at other plugin’s metadata fields. There are already nearly 1k plugins there, you will be next.
