Mat and Mohammad:
Love the ideas! My main concern right now is supporting more conversations
(only converts 30 as of right now), or allowing the user to select the
number they would like to convert. Auto-formatting might be difficult,
since everything is stored in JSON. However, I am wondering if TW will
automatically format them if the symbols are replaced by valid TW syntax.
Mat, I'm a bit confused as to what you mean by "thread title." Do you mean
the titles it is automatically giving already, or something else?
Tags will be easy, and I had planned on adding them, as well as authors.
These can be made with new fields in the JSON!
Lastly, storing these files could prove difficult. One such way would be to
create a program on an unused computer, and having it run the GG2TW program
at a certain interval and stimulate a download of the data, where another
way (more difficult), would listen to the GG conversation and run only when
30 new posts were added. This idea is worthy of its own repo!
Thanks!
Finn Lancaster
BTW, there is already a GitHub conversation going on in the TW5
discussions. A link to it
is: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/discussions/5793
