Excellent idea. I started researching how we might do that. My best guess so far is nexe: https://github.com/nexe/nexe > 2. The opening HTML is replaced by a TW itself.

Controls for adding new paths and creating new tiddlywiki folders and single-file editions is a great idea though and I think Arlen already mentioned the possibility. As to your general point, I do agree that there are some people who may get value from Tiddlywiki but not know how to run a node server - having something that 'just works' is a worthwhile goal. But, let's be honest, Tiddlywiki is really mostly for 'geeks' at the end of the day :-). (imagine telling someone "oh, right, you've accidentally nested a list of all your notes inside a list of all your notes, so your 'wordprocessor' crashed. Just restart it and figure out a way to delete that note without opening it...") :-) As for how one actually does 'run a node server', I worry that we have over-dramatised it in previous discussions. It isn't difficult and doesn't require any special knowledge. You install Node like any other piece of software (https://nodejs.org) and you need to run half a dozen commands from the command line (they're given briefly at the start of my static sites tutorial here: https://www.didaxy.com/exporting-static-sites-from-tiddlywiki-part-1). I suppose if you haven't used the command line at all, it's a bit of a pain, but learning is good for you :-) > > > On the other end of debate is people who do not have the necessary admin > privileges to install node js on their system. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
