It seems to me a few things have been mixed up: To first answer your question; you should likely have regular TW5 and I'd recommend tiddlyspot.

There is regular TW used on IE. I can't tell anymore if IE is a good idea but one reason why I switched to FF and Chrome many years ago was because of IE's quirks. Personally, when I develop stuff for TW I don't even bother testing it in IE. TiddlyWiki-Node.js version vs regular TW. If you don't know what you want, then take regular TW. I have very limited experience with the Node.js version but my impression is that it adds a layer of complexity to matters. If you're familiar with node.js overall, then go ahead. I believe there are tools to "switch between platforms" but probably not very polished. TiddlyDesktop is a tool to administer TWs on your desktop, not an alternative to the above two. > B) I can choose to share via a DropBox folder (replication), TiddlySpot, > TiddlySpace, or TiddlyWiki in the Sky. > > How do I choose between them (pros/cons)? > > My personal fav is tiddlyspot. Has been working flawlessly for a decade. It is generously hosted by cousings Daniel and Simon Baird who were active members at one time. Dropbox, sure. And it is protected then. There is a (coming) limitation in that Dropbox uses http*s* which will mean in the coming interconneciton of TWs (the TWederation!) that it will only allow fetching tiddlers from other https hosted wikis but not from http hosted wikis). TiddlySpace is closing down in a few months. TW in the Sky. Unsure of it's status. Probably not quite ready yet. > C) I can choose to save as a single file wiki, or (with node.js only?) as > a wiki folder. > See answer A.

I've never used the markdown plugin but as with almost all plugins, they're developed by individuals, for free, so there is no "support" to rely on. > Context: I used to use TWC heavily.

It is about connecting wikis so that they can fetch tiddlers from one another - your own wikis or/and others. This will be huge. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
