Preso 2 Hello all,
I'm a university computer science student just going into my second year, and I've recently been doing an internship with Osmosoft. During my time there, I've worked on a new TiddlySpace application, "Preso 2". Preso 2 is a Zoomable User Interface that takes your tiddlers and displays them on a 2-dimensional plane in different positions and sizes. Moving around the plane is made easy by dragging the background, or clicking on specific tiddlers to "zoom" to them. Clicking on the background zooms out to display all the tiddlers. The positions and dimensions of tiddlers are stored in the tiddler MyMap, which you will need to create and experiment with if you want to customize the positions of tiddlers in Preso 2. The title of each tiddler to be positioned should be placed on a separate line in MyMap, followed by its x position, y position, width & height measured in pixels and written in that order, separated by spaces. (e.g. "HelloThere 100 200 500 400") The application is a development from Preso (preso.tiddlyspace.com) and aims to take its functionality and package it into a TiddlySpace app. There are a number of reasons why this was important: - A TiddlySpace app is a unique way of presenting tiddlers in your space. The original Preso instead modified your space's TiddlyWiki so you could no longer use TiddlyWiki in its own right. Now, Preso is a completely separate application. - Preso 2 is built on new Tiddlyweb APIs so it no longer relies on TiddlyWiki to work. This has a number of advantages, such as lazy loading of tiddlers which allows Preso 2 to start much quicker, and provides a reference for future developers of TiddlySpace apps. - Preso 2 is built with open source libraries Zoomooz and jQuery Touché that bring mult-touch support to iOS and Android portable devices. If you have a space on TiddlySpace, you can now access Preso 2 from the app switcher in the top right of the page, or go to yourspace.tiddlyspace.com/present. The app currently has limited functionality and no editing features, so you will have to edit tiddlers in TiddlyWiki or Take Note, but this functionality is planned. The project is available on GitHub so developers can fork it or include the preso2.tiddlyspace.com space and edit the tiddlers to experiment. It would be real great to get some feedback on the project, and what you'd like to see Preso 2 do, so do please report your findings in this discussion.
