Where to find Projectify - and a discussion on deprecated Links in tiddlywiki.com

The link to the projektify-wiki on tiddlywiki.com is obsolete:
https://tiddlywiki.com/#Projectify%20by%20Nicolas%20Petton

I would be a pitty not only because of the task-management which was the best in TW so far but also for the great alternative Theme it uses.

Does anyone have a copy to reanimate it on tiddlyhost . As I rememeber it was opensource.

The source code is on Github:

Thanks! But the demo there is also down.
I would be great to have a foolproof way to use it.

The way back machine has a copy!

I found a useful fork of it here GitHub - ThaddeusJiang/Projectify: Project management for TiddlyWiki. Seems to even have a few commits since the last official version. It also has a hosted version here: Projectify | Project management for TiddlyWiki)

(useful forks https://useful-forks.github.io)

Thanks a lot - then only the link on tiddlywiki.com has to be updated to avoid disappointments.

@jeremyruston is there a system for regularly checking the porposed repositories or to inform about problems with these?

I can tell you that it is really hard to check url’s automatically these days. Most links don’t lead to a simple 404 or “site can’t be reached” (though this one did). In most cases, there is still a page there – it’s just the wrong page. Often, it’s a page attempting to sell the domain name. Grrr.

I have updated by bookmark so the new URL should make its way to Links soon as well.

Oddly, given my general incompetency with tech code, this issue interests me.

If I can help let me know as I hate informational dead-ends.

I did think a PS script that probes an address and retrieves whatever it is THEN does a crude guess (via regex) whether it is an error page, a domain farmer or, hopefully, well-kosher would be possible. With sweat.

Anyway. On this one I’m definitely up for a call.

@TiddlyTitch perhaps you could test for something that exists in an empty html eg I see this in the metadata of the html file
<meta name="application-name" content="TiddlyWiki" />

If we view the page source on a bob shared wiki it also contains this.

Or methaps if metadata can be queried
<meta name="tiddlywiki-version" content="5.1.23" /> we could show the wiki version.

Just a thought although no idea if its possible.

The question in my mind is whether we should even continue with the community resources – why have two sources of “truth” ? Maybe better just to have the aggregator? Especially since the aggregator gets updated automatically. e.g., I submitted a PR for the Projectify tiddler 24 hours ago.

For link checking, In the end, what I did was to set up a methodology and click through each and every link (for the aggregator – didn’t back-feed into community). In addition to the usual dead-ends, there was also one or two instances where the TW file was there, but the content had gone away.

There’s also the problem of (hopefully) temporary dead-ends. Like I imagine there’s a lot of servers not being maintained right now in Uk raine.

I agree. Erwan’s older aggregator was never used extensively, and I think now, it confuses the issue a bit?

Man, that is a lot of work!

Just FYI (I was inspired by your Polly) to experiment a bit with using PowerShell to try automate a bit with probing resources. @TW_Tones makes some good points about a bespoke way to check fidelity, I think?

Give me a month.

  Simply: Right.

Ah! Complexity now where there was simplicity before. That “fouls-the-footpath” (I can’t find a net explanation of this common idiom, but you’ll know what I mean) and makes your work hard?
