Hi Jeremy, I'm interested in webdav because it works with virtually all cloud storage providers now, no need for experimental js features etc. It also works with all browsers, so here also no incompatibilities.
With webdav you can sync your TW with many different storage providers and you don't have to fret about different API's. There was an (incomplete) webdav plugin for TW which changed the file saving code, so it worked for a whole TW and not for indivdual tiddlers, but that is fine. Nice if external tiddlers would be supported. Webdav support would also alleviate a bit the current TW situation that tw can't save itself to a file, because webdav is essentially file based and can emulate the old TW behaviour of saving the whole file, which is easy to understand for users. Also with whole file save a user can save a TW to webdav and then retrieve it from the browser directly as download. hope this clarifies what i meant. tiddlygrp On Thursday, February 7, 2013 3:40:48 PM UTC+1, Jeremy Ruston wrote: > > TW in the Sky uses Dropbox.js, a semi-official JavaScript API from Dropbox. > > I'm very interested in supporting other storage providers like Box, Google > Drive, etc, and open standards such as WebDav.
