Hi Arlen > > The tiddlywiki architecture is inherently single file.
I’d respectfully disagree with that statement. TiddlyWiki 5 has a chicken and egg architecture: the Node.js configuration is the chicken; the egg that it produces is the standalone single file configuration. But note the relationship: the Node.js configuration creates the single file configuration, not the other way around. So, the archetypal form of TiddlyWiki is the Node.js configuration. The key characteristic that is shared by both configurations is the idea of keeping all data in memory (quite a popular architecture in this decade). But that’s something that can be changed: the store is pluggable and can be replaced. > This is why it is so hard to get multi-user configured properly.

There are a number of missing pieces for the multi user configuration where TW runs in the browser, as have been acknowledged and listed elsewhere. You seem to be referencing the architecture whereby individual static pages are generated (rather than shipping a full TW to the browser). I’m not aware of any major omissions there. > Even the server and online versions download everything in few files and the > core idea again is one file. I think here you are referring to the configuration where the server serves a full TW HTML file to the browser. That’s not the only configuration that is supported. > If you load a tiddlywiki, the chances are that the entire thing will slowly > get loaded as you browse if it was Wikipedia. Here I think you’re talking about lazy loading? I don’t understand the comparison to Mediawiki. TiddlyWiki doesn’t have the same goals as MediaWiki. Why would it? We already have MediaWiki, so I’m not interested in re-inventing it. TiddlyWiki is trying to do something different. > There are many options going forward, and almost all of them are very single > file oriented when setup correctly. I don’t quite understand why you think that “almost all of them are very single file oriented”? > So I don't think our browser conundrum is going to be too much of a hold up. > It will only change the way things work, but they can still work just as fast. I think we’re coming from the same place here: the plethora of different configurations that TiddlyWiki supports means that we can be confident that it can be adapted to keep working into the far future.
