Hi Gene, For the specific use case that your video demonstrates, i.e. creating short new tiddlers rather than editing existing ones, have you considered the following workflow:
- don't write your newly created tiddler files to the wiki directory. - instead have vim do a PUT request with cURL to the tiddlywiki to save the tiddler. API: https://tiddlywiki.com/#WebServer%20API%3A%20Put%20Tiddler:%5B%5BWebServer%20API%3A%20Put%20Tiddler%5D%5D Example: curl -X PUT -i 'http://192.168.0.12:8080/recipes/default/tiddlers/ NewTiddlerTitle' --data '{ "tags": "firstTag anotherTag", "creator": "gene", "modifier": "gene", "text": "The use of knowledge in society" }' -H "X-Requested-With: TiddlyWiki" I don't use VIM myself but as far as I know it can execute bash scripts so you could set one up to do the PUT with cURL. Alternatively there seem to be VIM plugins specifically for interacting with APIs.
