Hi Danielo,
I could imagine an extra indicator either in the toolbar or in the
TopRightBar, where it just says:
- Synced (in green)
- Syncing... (in orange)
- Offline mode (in red)
I would assume that people notice when it changes the color from green
to red, also it is not too intrusive. I feel like alerts are extremely
intrusive to your concentration when you are working. (And it just feels
like something went terribly wrong)
Therefore, I would say a little indicator is all that is needed and when
you use the mechanism actively, you will probably look at the indicator
when you are done working and are about to close the wiki, which sounds
like the right time that you should be informed about the state of the
changes you've made.

Hello,
I was going to post a question in TW-Dev and I just realized that I
would prefer to have the opinion of the community first.
I have been investigating about couchdb, and I learned a lot thanks to
the couchdb adaptor. So I decided to create a pochdb adaptor for
tiddliwiki.
Basically this means: Having an offline database locally (inside the
browser) that syncs to an online database whenever you have internet
connection.
My question is: How the sync state should be notificated? I mean, you
lost internet connection, then you lost sync to the server, Internet
comes back, sync starts again.
Possible states are:
* Connected and synced
* Connected but syncing
* Offline
My first idea was to use the state color of the "save button". Leaving
it red when you're offline, but this can be confusing, because you
will not know if the changes have been saved locally. I think the best
approach is to notify with an alert when you lost sync. I choose alert
because they last until you remove them, so there is no chance to not
be aware of it. Then, when connection comes back, that alert can be
removed automatically. Any other notification just use a notification
(toast)
What do you think?
