Hi Ed The problem with TiddlyDesktop is that it is trying to be a desktop browser, and users have the very reasonable expectation that it will behave like one. Sadly, the nw.js platform on which TiddlyDesktop is based only provides the basic rendering of web pages and requires features like tabs, find-on-page, print, spell checking, etc to be implemented manually. That means that developing TiddlyDesktop feels like a pretty thankless task: however much effort I put into reproducing standard browser features, it will never be as good a browser as the market leaders.
So, the direction I’d like to take it is to develop the web serving capabilities: in that configuration, TiddlyDesktop would be responsible for running the serverside of wikis, and you’d use your usual browser to connect to it. It’s also worth mentioning TiddlyServer which also enhances the basic Node.js configuration of TiddlyWiki. See tiddlywiki.com <http://tiddlywiki.com/> for details.
