Isn't a missing - but implementable piece - also for single file TWs to be able to fetch individual .tid tiddlers from node.js wikis? ...or, are perhaps nodejs wikis really also one file at the stage when tiddlers are fetchable? @Arlen, that might be something TiddlyServer could otherwise enable; i.e if single tiddlers are served then they should be fetchable, I think. (...I also cannot let go of the thought that much more ought to be possible with iframes when we're in control of designing the server side and how it behaves. I want to be able to at least click on a tiddler link in a served tiddler and have it open that tiddler in my local TW...) ...

Jed (and I) intentionally didn't want many participants because of its early dev stage and its obvious scalability problems. However, IMO the perfect use case should be a community "plugin store". <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
