Hi Ed

Chris Hunt is now working on Quine 2, which is built around the new iOS 11 and 
13 file APIs, much as you suggest. There’s a TestFlight beta, more details in 
Quine’s own Google Group here:

[tw5] TW on iOS

[Ed Heil]

I've been having a ton of fun with tiddlywikis lately; the only thing that's 
been getting me down is using them on iOS, which is a pain.  There's the Quine 
app which is neat, but wish I could do more. 

What I'm thinking of is the fact that as of iOS 11, it was possible for the 
Files app to hand off a file to another application to open *and modify*, 
saving the modified version back to the Files app.  

All *kinds* of things expose themselves to the Files app; iCloud, Dropbox, and 
with the right apps to connect them, even github repositories and sftp shares.

A tiddlywiki app which took advantage of this could be incredibly versatile.  
It would essentially just have to be a special-purpose browser for displaying 
the tiddlywikis, and then a mechanism for receiving the "saves" probably 
equivalent to whatever TiddlyDesktop is doing (I don't know what that is) which 
writes them back to the original location via Files's api.

I don't suppose such a thing exists? 

I have a small amount of iOS programming knowledge, and if I dropped the money 
on an Apple developer's certificate and put enough work into it I might be able 
to make something like this myself (always easier to say than to do of course). 
 But it'd sure be nice if somebody else had already done it
