Hi Josiah There is already a near-universal solution to saving changes within the browser: the built-in HTML5-compatible “download saver”. It works on practically all desktop browsers, and many mobile browsers. However, the user experience is poor, and there is scope for human error.
Apart from the universal, fallback saver, we’ve got more specialised savers that work in specific environments. For example, the saver for TiddlySpot, or TiddlyFox, or the one that works with Windows HTA files. So, I’m not sure what you’re asking. I don’t think that the HTML5 standard contains any overlooked mechanisms that can allow TiddlyWiki saves changes. I am not aware of any non-standardised browser features that help us, either. Finally, you mention PouchDB. Again, as we’ve discussed before, there’s nothing magical going on there. Data is saved to one of several HTML5 local storage mechanisms. TiddlyWiki5 could use those mechanisms to save changes, but it’s scarcely a replacement for the standard saving mechanism because ones data remains locked up within the browser, and can’t easily be transported elsewhere.
