Hi Jero. You (forgivably) haven't followed the thread where I specify that my solution has to work on random university computers, public kiosks, etc. Special apps (and local plugins and save-means-download) are out.
BUT (!) I just had a breakthrough with the GitHub saver. The trick was adding and verifying a fresh email; somehow it wasn't satisfied with the verification of the old address (and also didn't flag the email as unverified either). I'm going to close up shop at work for a bracing-cold bike ride home now, feeling like ONE thing was actually accomplished! (And then I'll load the page from home, just to smile at it, and add a meaningless edit, and close it again.) -Springer On Tuesday, November 17, 2020 at 7:44:17 PM UTC-5 Jero wrote: > "... , I still haven't found a good plain-old SAVE solution for working > with TW files on my desktop ..." > > Hi.
