Catching up on TW news (busy times down here on the farm!), i was rewarded by yet another serendipitous find in this little gem from Mario <https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/ODEleDkUOss/m/pW7AmKJmBwAJ>, with an embedded link to the TiddlyWeb API Explorer <https://tank.peermore.com/tanks/tiddlyweb/explorer> -what looks on the face of it like just the solution to the biggest problem i've got sitting on my desk right now.
The problem is: the farmOS system <https://farmos.org/> i use for operational record-keeping is undergoing a major upgrade to version 2.0; this presents a data migration challenge for me & the agronomist i'm working with that would be greatly facilitated by an API Explorer. Good news is: farmOS has an OpenAPI that can be easily explored using this open-source farmOS.py library <https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS.py> -by anyone with adequate python chops, that is. If only that were me! But really: wouldn't it be so much nicer to explore the API using something like that TiddlyWeb API Explorer -a python project, as it happens. So following Mario's pointer, i reached out to developer Chris Dent, who confirmed: not only is interface written in TW Classic, it is moreover >7 years old now, and he has had nothing to do w/ it (or TW, for that matter) in the years since (typical story of funding having run out). Finally: code being targeted to the TiddlyWeb API itself -which uses the same OpenAPI standard, but is a very different data model- it's a project that the developer has no capacity to take on right now. Still: source code is online <https://github.com/tiddlyweb> and available for anyone to run with. All that being said: i'm just captivated by the notion of using TW5 as the ultimate OpenAPI Explorer. In such a front end, one might not only browse, but also mark-up and annotate such a typically complex document, writing & sharing comments & scripts in a most digestible & reusable form. So while i believe the developer that this would be no trivial undertaking, i am sufficiently intrigued by the possibility that i have to tap this collected wisdom here just to ask: Do you think like me that TW5 would make a very good OpenAPI Explorer? Whether using any of this code or some other language, i'd just like to know if this is a likely prospect, or just my wishful thinking, over-estimating the synergy between these softwares. ? /walt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
