Scot and Jeremy, I too am interested in IFTT integrations with TW.
One of the areas I would like to explore may be useful for academic use. Google Scholar has a feature which alerts you when a paper is published which references a specified paper or key word. Currently I use IFTT to produce a text doc in dropbox from gmail in anticipation of a development in TW5 (my skills are not up to writing a widget at the present time) It would be good if each abstract became a Tiddler which then could be annotated, linked, categorised etc. in a similar way to Téléologie et fonctions biologiques[1] Alex [1] http://tesis.tiddlyspot.com/ On 11 March 2014 08:20, Jeremy Ruston <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Scott > > TW5 can use the Dropbox API from the browser, so your scenarios are doable. > > One could build a TW5 plugin that on startup authorises with Dropbox if > necessary, and then loads tiddlers from a specified folder. > > TiddlyWiki in the Sky for Dropbox does something fairly similar: > > http://dropbox.tiddlywiki.com/ > https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki-in-the-Sky > > Best wishes > > Jeremy > > > > > > On Tue, Mar 11, 2014 at 5:28 AM, Scott Kingery > <[email protected]>wrote: > >> I had the kernel of an idea the other day...
