I apologize if somebody else has already offered this solution.
This solution involves setting up what is called a Firefox profile in order
to create an independent tiddlywiki "app"-like usage.
*Disadvantages* I can think of compared to tiddlydesktop are:
- no convenient tiddler selection
- still requires the tiddlyfox extension
- Mozilla might soon be phasing out extensions of this kind
- Potential memory overkill compared to tiddlydesktop
*Advantages* compared to tiddlydesktop
- Firefox is easy to install on all platforms. It is part of the basic
repos in prettymuch any Linux distribution.
- All standard browser keystrokes and features (like tabbing) are still
available.
- All settings of Firefox for tiddlywiki can be independently set one
way or another, such as "Offline Mode", without effecting other Firefox
instances with normal browser settings.
- Still maintains a simple, minimalist experience. Appears to simply
open and run tiddlywiki, similar to tiddlydesktop.
*Steps for Linux:*
1. Install Firefox
2. Open the Firefox profile creator in terminal
- firefox -P
3. Create a profile name of your liking such as "tiddlywiki"
4. Install plugins:
- Tiddlyfox
- Toolbar Autohide
5. Set all Firefox settings to your liking
- Homepage to your tiddlywiki file
- the "Open File" button
- Toolbar Autohide plugin settings
- Offline mode
- Zoom
- Homepage
6. Create a Linux desktop launcher that will launch your tiddly app with
all of its settings separately from other Firefox instances.
- firefox -P tiddlywiki --no-remote /<path>/<tiddlyfile>.htm
