TW on node.js doesn't serve images. The fact that node.js can serve images is totally irrelevant until someone writes a version of TW on node.js that does.
The thing is, if you start having to run a server, you no longer have a simple solution. In fact, you could run any of a half dozen wikis or content managers which would all have true databases and virtually unlimited size allowances. The charm of a single-file, no-install, runs-everywhere solution would be gone. Mark On Tuesday, April 25, 2017 at 6:59:25 AM UTC-7, Arlen Beiler wrote: > > Node serves images.
