Brewed idea has fermented into a different prototyping project. *Scenario*:
Say I have two sales reps, each with his/her own TiddlyWiki running on node.js They each maintain their own customer lists, but I want each sales rep to have view-only privs on the other sales rep's customer list. So that each Sales rep can be a backup to the other one when a Sales rep in on vacation or whatever. Each Sales rep should have a directory of his/her own customers, but also have available a global directory of all customers (so merging of the directories.) And those directories should provide a way to see customer details, regardless of the source (Sales rep's own wiki or other sales rep's wiki.) And a way to know when something new has happened in the other wiki. All without having to learn new technical things, other than familiarizing myself with basic TiddlyWiki and node.js stuff. *The current scope of naughty bits* Playing around a little, here are some of the things that will be involved: - WebServer Basic Authentication <https://tiddlywiki.com/#WebServer%20Basic%20Authentication>, WebServer Authorization <https://tiddlywiki.com/#WebServer%20Authorization>, WebServer Parameter: credentials <https://tiddlywiki.com/#WebServer%20Parameter%3A%20credentials> - Simple ways to write protect tiddlers <https://tiddlywiki.com/#Simple%20ways%20to%20write%20protect%20tiddlers> - Using the read-only single tiddler view <https://tiddlywiki.com/#Using%20the%20read-only%20single%20tiddler%20view> - Symbolic Links <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link> - Maybe: This goofy approach to dynamic HTML/javascript creation in an iFrame <https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/BVokrn0VQa8/m/zyQYcPI9BgAJ> - A way to know about "what's new" (re customer info) in other Sales reps' tiddlywikis - Enhanced tiddler saving actions for a customer to update a "customers list" data tiddler - Each sales rep has a "customers list" tiddler, and each sales rep has a symbolic link to all other sales reps' "customers list" tiddlers; so a "list of customers" tiddler brings in, formats, sorts, all of these data items from all of these data tiddlers - *won't be super-perfect because each tiddlywiki needs to be restarted to get the latest data tiddlers from the other tiddlywikis* Something like that. No fuss, no muss. Keeping it simple.
