Hi Ben,
Thanks for the pointers, but they sort of reinforce that it seems less
work to build from scratch.....

I expect we're going to go off and write our own framework for

buliding on Tiddly. That's sort of a shame.
If you're into tiddlers, but not TiddlyWiki, you might have a browse
around http://tiddlyspace.com/, looking at some of the non-tiddlywiki
applications that have been created there. Ben Gillies and Jon Robson
ought to be able to point out some good examples.
First off - we're specifically into SPAs that can run locally - that's
the primary attraction of TiddlyWiki. There are LOTS of ways to write
hosted applications.
If we WERE interested in building on tiddlyspace:
Hi Miles. As Chris states, we've been looking at and building
non-TiddlyWiki based apps on top of TiddlySpace for a while now.
There are some examples around TiddlySpace that you can look at:
* http://apps.tiddlyspace.com - This is a jumping off point for
several apps that Jon Robson (mostly) has written.
absolutely no documentation behind any of those
* http://tiddlyace.tiddlyspace.com - This app provides a simple code
editor witht the ability to create new HTML/JavaScript/CSS tiddlers,
etc (good for mocking up/developing around new apps). It's based on
the ACE project (https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace)
Again, no documentation or anything to give a clue what this thing is.
We keep coming back to the same conclusions:
- TiddlyWiki is a great example of what's possible for with SPAs
- it's pretty useful in it's current form (though the changing
browser/landscape seems to lead to compatibility issues)
- it's virtually impossible to understand what's going on under the hood
without completely deconstructing the raw code - hence providing an
incredibly steep learning curve for even making small modifications,
much less using it as a platform
- hence, it's better as an existence proof, and a source of ideas - but
it's easier to redesign from scratch to get to a useful platform
