Thanks - and "hi"  Richard... 

I am aware of the TiddlyManuals - an extensive project that - in my humble 
opinion - is great as a resource - but not as a "good read"
It works as a manual.

But have you tried opening it in a mobile device? ( several accessibility 
issues! )

For those of us who love the original TW - TW5 is far better and more 
*accessible 
*- which I believe is one of it's *more desirable attributes.*

Thanks for your nod of support. I don't want to get in the way of providing 
ePub type stuff. Perhaps a new thread but I don't know how to start it. 

I'm thinking that TW is pretty useful as it is and could make some great 
dynamic textbooks or notebook where a basic accelerometer is all you need.

Re: [tw] Re: TW5 as a better option than ePub (cont)

2016-11-21 Thread John Newell
Hi Marc - and thanks for your input.

It's great to see another format where TW can provide a solution as a 
dynamic (e)book.

I hope I am reading this correctly - but the idea you have it to produce a 
collective TWebook 
- pristine -organised  -well presented.

distribute it and allow for each file distributed the ability for the 
reader / user to add THEIR comments, extra stories and perspectives.

and make THAT function *easy really easy.*

Whilst I totally believe that a hybrid TW5 could produce that. 
it may take time and be lower down the list than we'd like.

My solution currently is to purchase a *www.padlet.com 
* account ($US29pa ) and add unique "padlets" as 
embeds to each TWeBook 
It does mean adding a unique embed code to each new copy of the TWebook for 
distribution.

but the uniqueness, readability and dynamics of padlet make that an awesome 
option.

padlet don't do a great job of opening the eyes and imaginations of the 
users that well..
but padlet is an IDEAL choice as any and all of these page ( tiddler ) 
options in your book :


   - gallery
   - journal
   - notes
   - copied docs ( such as Scout recipes )
   - storytelling ( a Scout tradition ) 
   - dynamic events listing ( which can also be easily "pulled in" via 
   iframe code )
   - inspirations

its also instantly renders :

   - mp3, mp4, avi
   - ppt, doc, pdf, txt, rtf, etc etc
   - png, svg, bmp, gif, jpg etc etc


and is my go to now that dropbox is discontinuing its rendering / hosting 
service.


I am excited by the interest developing on the recent "swing" to TW5 being 
used, recognised and further enhanced as a storytelling application.
Like most of the TW fraternity we predominantly use TW5 files as 
collections of information in snippets and related parts.
Linked easily by CamelCasing and markdown. 
And I'm sure we all get a "tingle of excitement" when a cool addition, 
plugin or slice of code makes it more dynamic.

But - to what end?
Yep - as a wiki - it is great. The best!

As a storytelling device - as clumsy or incomplete as WE may see it - TW5 
makes ePub look ugly and old as a book delivery format.
And ePub trails behind TW5 in the dynamics which are possible - AND - the 
emjoyable reading experience it provides.


*BUT - as Marc highlights - the fun *

Re: [tw] Re: TW5 as a better option than ePub (cont)

2016-11-21 Thread Marc Ferguson
I thought I'd chime in on this. I may be a renegade but I think TW5 can be much 
better than an ePub because of its ability for the user to make changes. 

Our church has an excellent but dated family activity book. It has lots of 
ideas with descriptions of each idea. Families that can't think of something 
can look through the book and it sparks ideas. The best thing about the book is 
the organization. 

Often in our family we would assign a child to find an activity and there are 
games and things to do on walks and all sorts of stuff. 

It is also great for youth groups to come up with an annual plan of activities. 

One problem with the book is since it is a simple paper and ink book when the 
kids get married they want a copy of our family version that has all sorts of 
notes and phone numbers and stuff that has been added to the pages. 

I also have used this book with a Boy Scout group that I have worked with for 
many years. When I am released from that role I know the next leader would love 
a copy so he or she doesn't have to start over from scratch. 

ePubs don't fill the bill because they aren't able to change and therefore 
aren't cherished like this book is. 

My idea is to create a TW that can be distributed in its pristine form and keep 
it simple enough that users can easily make it there's. 

This way I can keep one version for my scouts. In fact I can give versions to 
the youth leaders and let them create their own patrol version and someday I 
can simply email the latest version to the new leader when I leave. And I can 
still have my Scout version for me to page through and remember good memories. 

I can also give copies of our family version to my kids and grandkids over 
time. Wouldn't that make a great Christmas or wedding present. 

I can see that ePub is a way to make money and protect intellectual property 
but I would like to hear your thoughts about this use of TW.

Re: [tw] Re: TW5 as a better option than ePub (cont)

2016-11-21 Thread magillamax
Hi Jed

with Spiritual Quest - that required a mix of icon navigation, images, embeds, 
large icons plus feature art as well as text. I could get away with iphone & 
ipad on the one template ( portrait format ) which is the "natural" tilt for 
their readers  but laptops and desktops SWITCH to a landscape format - so a 
different approach is needed.

To be quite honest about it - with hidden sidebar - the Wide format is actually 
very awkward unless a two page spread can be achieved.. very WIDE strings 
of text is an anathema to our natural expectation for text delivery ( on this 
TW fails to excite )

Interestingly - as we had asked a variety of question of our initial readers / 
testers - for almost ALL who used desktop they deferred to resizing the TW 
window to 50% screen width and found that more "comfortable" - as it was closer 
to a portait tablet display. Note - we DID suggest that if the full width 
screen wasn't to the reader liking - resizing to a half-width browser window is 
an option.

cheers

Is needing separate templates really a big problem here? I haven't really tried 
so I don't know. But for text I think that you would just need to make 3 or 4 
templates and use the correct one based on screen size. If you have more active 
content or images than you have other problems but you would have them in other 
formats as well.

And as for what is more natural on a tech device I would say RSVP is most 
natural for reading just text. For presenting information other than just plain 
text I still find single page (that is non-scrolling) chunks of text to be the 
most natural. My problem with that is that I may just be biased because despite 
the web being around for a few decades we haven't really discovered how to 
present information all that well in a dynamic environment.

A while ago I started some experiments on this but never got very far in them.

Re: [tw] Re: TW5 as a better option than ePub.

2016-07-04 Thread JN mag@gmail
That’s the rendering that TiddlyWiki gives you when it is viewed with 
JavaScript disabled.

It’s not clear why that would be happening. The padlet service cannot forcibly 
disable JavaScript while serving the file over http(s); the only alternative I 
can think of is that the service is stripping out the JavaScript from the HTML 
file.

padlet.com provides a platfrom that makes updates and live to site changes ( 
within TW files shortly - more on that soon ) quickly and (usually) 
efficiently. The founder, Nitesh, is getting back to me soon with a fix" as 
he's been able to do along the growth from wallwisher to its current format 
. should be as you stated - the problem is that in uploading a 9MB file - 
it's stripping JUST the tiddlywiki.com URL out as the reference... ) File sizes 
never a problem as they handle up to 300MB + for video & audio.

I plan to send you invites to files there shortly - once the remedy is 
provided. For now - soon to upload READ-ONLY versions of the book to Oronjo.com.

One way to investigate would be to compare the file you uploaded with the 
version that you obtain from padlet; you can compare the two files with 
something like http://winmerge.org/?lang=en [http://winmerge.org/?lang=en]

are there any ideas as to how to best deliver a single TW5 file to a mobile 
device and have it render as it would on a laptop etc...?

Full size it works fine  - but my market is mainly mobile ..
any help appreciated.

Probably the best user experience would be to package the TiddlyWiki HTML file 
into an app with Cordova (https://cordova.apache.org 
[https://cordova.apache.org/]). Eric Shulman and I have both done some 
experimentation on this in the past and it’s a pretty straightforward technical 
job.

Interesting you say that as attempts to get the eBook into an App ( for ease of 
distribution and security from rampant free sharing ) has proven problematic - 
until I asked a developer "I just need and app that works like an app - except 
it needs ONE section as the feature - that renders a single HTML file . 
sounds like you may be working on the same approach ( ? ) I would be VERY KEEN 
to find out more.

in the meantime - I should have the eBook / audio / site and distro finalised 
in the next few days and will send out copies - I am sure you'd have some great 
feedback and advice on how to better use tiddlywiki - and hopefully get some 
feedback on the book itself ( though it is female-focussed ) 

The other topic that has emerged is the use of TW5 as an online | offline | 
live-fed Directory site for winemaking regions around the planet, starting with 
3 regions in Oz. TW has an amazing advantage in so many way when teamed up with 
embeds that are social and live ( like padlet ) 

thanks hugely for TW / your help and support..

cheers
John

Re: [tw] Re: TW5 as a better option than ePub.

2016-06-17 Thread John Newell
hi there

TOTALLY agree
▶️ I've introduced hundreds to TW - and if each of us TW aficionados has
been doing the same - then there's a big userbase out there -
but the increased complexity confuses many, ( like it's built for nerds
and not Joe Average )

Following the lead of Ghost.org and their clean and simple approach to
pages/posts and markup /// or pen.io if you like
I have everyone keeping it simple and safe

As for eBooks, tiddlywiki is a God-sent marvel and an invigorating new
format to revel in. It flows better, DOWN a page actually is more
accommodating that 20 flicks to the right.

Navigation via tags and buttons are seconds to produce with a bit of
forethought.

The whole process is simplified dramatically. I have created twBooks in
under an hour compared to 3-10 times longer preparing a legible ePub. Let's
not even touch PDFs.
No front and back end. No dramas following daft protocols, the likes that
PressBooks delivers.

Clean.
responsive.
Beautiful if you want it to be

It's even a website that you can take offline and still enjoy ..

Let's keep in touch,
This is only just starting to get interesting.

Cheers

Ciao John Newell

I am very much in harmony with the idea of wide USAGE without needing full 
blown editing.

By way of background it seems to me that there is a huge userbase for TW 
that never appears here and is hard to document because (by design) TW does 
not track users.

The MASS effect of TW's that are mainly read is something of interest to 
me. "Semi-editing" modes are also interesting. Like, for instance, to 
create versions with facility to ONLY add notes & bookmarks.

Re: [tw] Re: TW5 as a better option than ePub.

2016-06-17 Thread John Newell
Hi Mat

Thanks for the email, I would be honoured to do so. 

Soon after launching I will strip it back as a twBook template and provide it - 
don't think of it as earth-shattering stuff ( but with help I am sure it could 
be ! )

I believe what TW is capable of FAR EXCEEDS the functionality and BEAUTY of 
other eBook formats - and my limited coding ability holds me back from making 
this THE future for eBooks - yes - I am an advocate and part-visionary as I see 
in TW what hasn't been used to advantage 

I know that's immodest - but that's my role  And I can SEE an amazing book 
to follow the one you'll see shortly.

All the best
