Hi Jon, Reading local text files is possible, I use d3.js and some inline JavaScript in FF57. Download the d3.js from github, past it in a tiddler and tag with systemConfig. Paste the following inline js in a tiddler and provide the right path/filename and tiddlername to save. InlineJavascriptPlugin is required.
<script> d3.text("path/filename.txt", function(data) { store.saveTiddler("LoadedDataD3", "LoadedDataD3", data, config.options.txtUserName, new Date(), "tags") }) </script> There you go.
