Using the external js edition for reducing storage

#1

I was just playing around with using the external js version both on my Windows Desktop and iPhone (using Quine 2.) It appears to be working well on both platforms.

If you are have more than a few wikis stored on your device, then this may be a good option. I’ve shown the file sizes below. You would need only a single copy of the .js file which is shared between the .html files. I’ve included the latest stable empty.html for comparison. On investigating, I found that most of the size of the external .html file comes form theming tiddlers. Could those be externalized and shared between wikis also?

There won’t be much savings unless you have more than a single wiki, so may not be worth it in that case.

Size File
2152931 tiddlywikicore-5.2.2-prerelease.js
94158 index.html
2297887 empty.html

Perhaps using this mechanism would make sense in a server setup like webdav to make better use of space, but perhaps this is more important for low profile servers like when used on a Rasberry Pi and you want to publish multiple wikis etc…

Thanks for sharing.
