But what might PapaParse mean when they talks about download remote files <http://papaparse.com/#remote-files> to parse then? Shared servers? (Would maybe e.g a tiddlyspot-to-tiddlyspot work, or because the TW is presented locally, it wouldn't?)

This will be one of the things I'll try to create when I understand more about how to adopt scripts to work in TW. we've already got a viable mechanism for client-side federation: the plugin > library. Is there any place where I can read up on how this works in more detail? I'm too bad at coding to understand it that way. I know it's been discussed in the hangouts but it would be great if is some explanatory text that mentions it's key parts so that I can look at the code and identify them, and read what they actually do. I'm guessing the plugin library only permits importing of tiddlers/plugins, right? ...And node-js individual tiddlers, at that, right? ...And is there some way to insert any url to such a tiddler and have it imported on command? Thanks for your patience Jeremy. At least I think these may be issues of wider interest, at least if I or anyone can make prototypes to show what could be achieved. Talk about RSS, not to mention federation, has of course been up before but so far we haven't come very far from a user perspective, other than the plugin importing which, to a simple end user like, seems like a special case where it's difficult to understand the greater implications. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
