Hi Josiah, I'm somewhat new to TW5, and am not what might be considered a "power user". I use it mainly on my android phone with the Chrome app and the Noteself app. I'm not using a local server, I don't use Node (JS illiterate), everything's either online or locally-manipulated. Maybe I'm on the edge of the demographic that TW5 can't quite catch (app-centric, mobile folks).
*Chrome for **Android* *(local file)* Saving on Android Chrome is a pain in the ass. Everything goes to the default downloads folder, and the files can't be overwritten or renamed from within the browser. *Chrome for **Android** (tiddlyspot)* I might be in the niche as a person who isn't always online. I use this for projects I intend to share, but it isn't my main driver. Android has this funny thing where background tasks get randomly killed. So, editing a tiddler, going to a resource-heavy music app, then returning to the browser, will refresh the tab. I've lost some of my writings this way. *Noteself Android app* ( and by extension, the webapp accessible via any browser ) This app is really great for my use-case. I can use TW during commute or when my phone isn't connected to the internet, go home, connect to the network, wait a few seconds for tiddlers to sync, and have it all available on Chrome for Desktop. The sync capability is almost instantaneous; it really works well. Now, because I use this as my main TW driver, I might as well list my few hurdles with it: - Initial sign-up for a Bluemix/Cloudant account is confusing. This is needed for cross-platform sync. - The Bluemix/Cloudant ID is used in Noteself as the *Username-for-signing-edits*. Great, if only the automatically-generated Bluemix/Cloudant ID isn't a long string of letters and numbers. Editing the *Username-for-signing-edits* tiddler doesn't help. It reverts on app/browser refresh. I've simply learned to live with it. - I can't update plugins without uninstalling them first. - If you're not using Vanilla theme, you'd have to wait a few seconds for your selected theme to load. - On Noteself for Android, there is a default stylesheet that I have to manually disable for mobile layouts to work correctly. - The storylist isn't synced cross-platform. I wish there's a setting to enable this. Other: AndTidWiki - very slow on my Nexu6P, also sports an outdated interface Hope this helps.
