Some people want a minified version of the TW5 core, but it'd be too much work to maintain. Some people think it should remain uncompressed for the sake of editors, but TW5 continues to grow by the day. Some developers compress their plugins, making efficient code, but it's a pain for anyone debugging it. Some developers leave their plugins uncompressed, but that means it's larger than necessary for 90% of all end-users.
Now there's a solution for everybody: TW5-uglify. This is a plugin primarily designed to be used by a Node.JS server. Your server has access to all your uncompressed and unpacked plugins, which is fine, since servers have the speed and memory for it. But what it sends to browsers are fully compressed plugins. Your little smart phones and tablets get the efficient TW5 they deserve. Or maybe you're a plugin developer who wants to minify their code. Now you no longer have to resort to using npm-gulp like some kind of chump. Your build process can remain an entirely TiddlyWiki process. Or maybe you want to miniify your standalone TiddlyWiki file. You can, but... think hard about this before you do it. Because unlike with TW5-Uglified server, compressing your standalone files is a one-way process. You'll forever have compressed code unless you download a new Tiddlywiki, redownload all your plugins, and transfer all your tiddlers from your old file. But hey! Maybe you're running TiddlyWiki on your 2000 era Nokia phone in an wifi wasteland. Then go ahead. Check it out.
