Your suggestion is the idea behind TiddlyServer. It's a nw.js app (so it has a UI and everything) that basically runs a proxy server on localhost:8000 that saves to the local filesystem. It doesn't even need to all be in the same folder. On Tuesday, April 25, 2017 at 7:39:49 AM UTC-4, Arlen B

In my case, I opened the empty.html from tiddlywiki.com and used the normal save button in empty.html which prompted the standard browser save dialog. The only annoying part about that is I have to use the browser save and figure out which of the numbered files is the latest version when opening

No Dropbox (it's blocked at the firewall, as is some of Google and many of the more popular consumer cloud storage offerings). I can technically get to OneDrive but I'm only allowed to use the work provided account. They get grouchy if you use your own. On Tuesday, April 25, 2017 at 4:28:38 PM

How do you get the TW html to your machine in the first place? Can you use the default download/save mechanism, or does the security block all downloads? Have fun, Mark On Tuesday, April 25, 2017 at 11:47:20 AM UTC-7, Lost Admin wrote: > > In the extremely locked down corporate environment I wo

Hi Arlen, That would certainly be interesting to see. Don't know if I would make the shift, but I'm sure it would help others. To make it portable, I'd have to compile the TW into single file format and save it to a device. That might be a bit of a hassle on a regular basis. I'm pretty sure wh

I think you may have mentioned this before. This is what I was thinking of when I wrote the above. Did you try installing TiddlyChrome at all? I would also be interested to hear if there are others in this situation and what you are able to do about it. Mark S, I would be interested to hear your

In the extremely locked down corporate environment I work in, TiddlyWiki itself is technically okay because it is 'just an html file'. Node.js (node.exe) is not okay because it's not on the approved application list. Firefox is not okay unless there is a good business need for it (basically onl

Ok, what if I would write a new script for node that would basically be a static file server? When you type in localhost it would show you a list of directories to choose from. Once you open one of those directories it would show you all the files and folders in it and allow you to open any one tha

TW on node.js doesn't serve images. The fact that node.js can serve images is totally irrelevant until someone writes a version of TW on node.js that does. The thing is, if you start having to run a server, you no longer have a simple solution. In fact, you could run any of a half dozen wikis

Node serves images. Chrome apps might be able to as well if done right, but never tried. Any server-type solution will be able to serve images. On Tue, Apr 25, 2017 at 9:49 AM, 'Mark S.' via TiddlyWiki < tiddlywiki@googlegroups.com> wrote: > Much of the world spends their computing times on table

Much of the world spends their computing times on tablets and smart phones. Some models can run a terminal (mine can't) if you want to spend a lot of time fiddling with that sort of thing -- but by then you no longer have a simple, easy to use turnkey solution. It still doesn't address the ima

This is true, but on windows it is very easy to run a portable version, and may be on Linux as well, I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure that covers most of our users, though I realize it doesn't cover everyone. But isn't that already a problem with TiddlyFox and TiddlyChrome? On Tue, Apr 25, 2017 at 9:

If TW on node.js served up images and other files, that might be almost acceptable. Of course, you would still have problems when away from your home node.js server. Mark On Tuesday, April 25, 2017 at 4:39:49 AM UTC-7, Arlen Beiler wrote: > > If someone knew how to do it, they would have. My Ti

If someone knew how to do it, they would have. My TiddlyChrome plugin is the easiest way that I know of for Google Chrome.

Firefox looks like its chosen to die for a while. Its userbase is shrinking month by month. Its ALREADY a minority report. In November this year its goes over to WebExtensions. By that time how will it differ from Chrome with market share already? Would it be best if TiddlyWiki could have
