Hi Everyone Just to confirm what has already been said:
* The SFT plugin relied on the way that older browsers were more relaxed about allowing xmlhttprequest to be used to extract content from remote URIs * The spark for the current TWederation work was the discovery that we could get around that problem by loading the remote wiki in an iframe and then using window.postMessage() to communicate between them. There are many limitations to the technique, as Jed has outlined, but it is entirely HTML5 compliant, and therefore as future proof as anything can be * TWederation is thus independent of IPFS: IPFS gives us distributed hosting but still looks like a server to the browser. As far as I can tell, we would need the same iframe/postMessage technique to allow one IPFS hosted wiki to load content from another. If xmlhttprequest were to work in that situation then we could use it instead of the iframe/postMessage technique, but the remainder of the TWederation approach and protocols would still be relevant * Mark’s suggestion of making the imported tiddlers be volatile (so that they don’t get saved) could easily be done if TWederation were to package imported tiddlers in a dynamically created plugin in the $:/temp namespace; the imported tiddlers would then appear as shadow tiddlers Best wishes Jeremy > On 24 Jun 2016, at 23:41, 'Mark S.' via TiddlyWiki > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Maybe that's how the SFT did it.
