Hi Mat, And, actually, where/what is "the Dev channel"? a google hangout? > > <:-) >
I did a search for your funny little dunce-hat emoticon in the TiddlyWikiDev <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tiddlywikidev> forums, and came across many instances of posts you've made there, so I know you know about "the Dev channel". I totally agree with the primacy of the single file, offline TiddlyWiki. The whole reason I started using TiddlyWiki in the first place, as an ex network admin, was the simple fact that I didn't need to spin up a server stack in order to get TW working. If not for that one fact, I'd have stayed with using MediaWiki for my home network. Apart from my main personal use of TW which brought me here, I've since started work on another project which I've been dreaming about for years, and only since meeting the single-file TiddlyWiki have I been confident enough to give it a go. That project (from my perspective, anyway) is reliant on the single-file nature of TW if it is to succeed with its intended target audience. I know some people may consider a single-user, single-file CRM system to be severely hobbled, but TiddlyCRM is no traditional CRM, and will be focused on the home user, who may not have the expertise to spin up a server stack (either online or local), and who definitely wouldn't want their confidential contact data to be available online. So, to me, the biggest "argument against server dependency" is the low entry-point for non-technical users. Jeremy has recently been speaking in the *{{DesignWrite}}* weekly Conversations about treating TiddlyWiki wikis as documents, similar to MS Word / LibreOffice Writer documents. You create them on the fly, many of them, as and when you need them, and dispose of them at will. That level of knowledge is what I expect from the intended audience for TiddlyCRM. I certainly don't expect they'll be ready for Node.js. Hegart. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
