@ Jed

Thank you for building this incredible toolset. It's badass. Among the many 
things it does (and you obviously know more than I do about what it can and 
will be used for), your tool makes Tiddlywiki a realtime GUI terminal for 
me, and it makes scripting outside of javascript for my wiki more 
worthwhile too. I suggest you have defeated some difficult race conditions.

> I just realised that I haven't released a lot of what I made after I got 
frustrated with some things so I haven't released my tools yet. But I have 
made things for Bob that take a single file wiki and split it up into .tid 
files and multiple methods for compiling a single file wiki from Bob. But 
compiling .tids into a single file should be a single button click. The two 
main methods I have right now are a download button that gives you the 
current wiki as a single html file without the Bob plugin or any of the 
server plugins (so like the download empty button on tiddlywiki.com, but it 
downloads the current wiki) and one that can take tiddlers from any of the 
wikis served by Bob and complies them into a single html file.

I will gladly click. I'll likely be running a bare minimum OS and browser 
with automated clicking inside a virtual machine to do it though. I just 
saw you had a release today. I'm excited to use it.

> So using Bob to edit and have it give you a single file wiki is possible, 
I just never got around to publishing it.

I am grateful to be able to see your previously unpublished work. Even the 
sketch of how you think it should be done is valuable to me. 

> I don't know what you use for signing but that doesn't sound like a bad 
idea for distributing wikis that aren't meant to be edited.

I use PyNaLC (https://github.com/pyca/pynacl). I sign the wiki every 
minute. Currently, the signature file is separate, but I'm going to be 
saving the signature inside the wiki instead soon enough (when I get to 
it). The script will remove the old signature, generate the new signature, 
and place it in. I use a script to verify (which comes with the wiki too). 
I can't say I'm good at this part either, but I very much want my wiki to 
be self-contained. 

> I am dyslexic and can barely read anything on your site so I have no idea 
what your process is there, so I don't think I can help much with that part.

I'm sorry. Perhaps I should offer an easy way to change the font to 
something more palatable (though, I daresay legibility improvements might 
not improve its readability). You have already helped with the process I 
have in mind! I'm re-engineering the backend of my process in virtue of Bob.

@ TonyM

Thank you very much. I actually did some testing in light of what you said 
and developed a response (it's sitting on my wiki), but now I can see that 
what I had to say is irrelevant with Jed's new release of Bob today. The 
export is clean and fast. Yay!
