Hi Danielo

I'm curious about how the plugin library works.


When the plugin library is opened, TiddlyWiki loads the following HTML file
into a hidden iframe:

http://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/library/v5.1.8/index.html

TiddlyWiki then talks to the HTML file via window.PostMessage, requesting
the plugin listing, and individual plugins when they are installed.

(The HTML file is used instead of a straightforward XMLHttpRequest for a
JSON file because the plugin library is hosted on GitHub Pages which
doesn't support CORS).

For the record, it does work OK on the iPhone 6, which is obviously a
reasonably fast processor and has decent RAM.

It's true that I use TiddlyWiki on a laptop or tablet much more often than
on my phone. I'm acutely conscious that the handling of the sidebar in the
default Snow White theme is not great on a phone.

Anyhow, my ambition is for TW to work well across desktop, tablet and
phones. Necessarily, there's a minimum spec in terms of JavaScript muscle
(RAM, processor etc.). It's also important that we make it straightforward
to browse static content on mobile devices; if connectivity is bad, I'd
rather have the content without any JavaScript.

Indeed not, that's one of the reasons that the help plugin is a plugin.

Best wishes
