First: Any other solution than what we have is probably more likely to split the users than to unite them. This is a main reason why I don't participate in any other group than this one (and the gh dev group).
Second: There is reason to be skeptical of any central system. If they decide to X there's probably nothing we can do about it. *So if we are willing to pay for something, then we don't we just pay for storage and then build our own system using TW?* These chats and threads are conceptually very close to tiddlers. This would: - probably unite the community - obviously further improve TW itself - be under our full control and we can tailor it to our exact needs Need a great search feature? - Probably doable. Extract great replies to be part of docs? - No prob. Google decides to put GG to rest? - Google who!? Discord is blocked in China? - Well, our db is mirrored on X. I want to upvote PMario to annoy him but also because I think he is brilliant. - OK, install the voting plugin in your representation of the community TW. If some of the big boys were willing to fiddle with this, I'd be happy to be one of the financial contributors. I'm not a gazillionaire but after having now used TW for almost 15 years I've realized that TW is simply a part of my identity and I will likely stick with it for many years to come. I might as well spend some money on this as anything else meaningful in my life. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
