Folks esp BTC, I have being following this with great interest but Christmas / New Year and the temporary loss of one eye, has slowed me down.
I have trawled the thread and cant find where to locate the latest apkxx, Or a link to it to use on the phone. *What is the definitive location for it now?* and is there a step by step instruction to installing the apk? I was keen to contribute earlier, and will once I have install it and reviewed it. What BTC is saying about Termux API's sounds very interesting but I am not sure exactly how this works, would you have Termux and The App installed, and The App Enables issuing commands and thus tiddlywiki commands sent to the Termux shell? >From a design Features point of View I love the idea of the key community app that can open multiple tiddlywikis etc... this is a critical first step. However I would be keen for individuals in the community to provide the means by which to package a custom edition of TiddlyWiki within an app, so for example if I built a TiddlyWiki that provides say decision support tools, or an evaluation tool, or a dashboard, advanced notetaker I / We could package this and distribute independent apps, ideally through the app store. This would be using TiddlyWiki as an app development platform we are all familiar with, deployed on the android platform would provide a rapid application development and deployment path. This would really turbocharge the mobile first applications whilst ensuring the final app is largely open source with TiddlyWikis famous hack-ability. The community can stream line this path and TiddlyWiki could be come a key method to deploy to multiple platforms solutions, the advantage being everyone in the community contributes to making this a fast path to app development, while retaining all tiddlywikis other advantages and platform. The Question is then can these custom editions be sold in the app store for a few dollars and provide a return to the edition developer and person who packaged it as an App? I think some licencing standards should be published such as tiddlywiki must be linked to, acknowledgements included, and details how to hack your tiddlywiki made available in a custom app. Regards Tony On Saturday, 22 December 2018 14:54:13 UTC+11, BurningTreeC wrote: > > Hi there community, > > I've made a very simple Android app that allows opening, modifying and > saving a single-file tiddlywiki > For saving I use a slightly modified andtidwiki saver, I made a plugin > from it > The app opens an index.html file that must be present in the Documents > folder and makes a backup every time it saves > > It misses some important features: > > - choosing which file to edit (edits index.html in "Documents" right now) > - exporting files > - fullscreen (throws an error at the moment, but I'm close) > > These features are implemented: > > - creates a backup file in Documents/tw-backup on every save > - proper handling when smartphone gets rotated (portrait / landscape) > - importing files > - automatic creation of "Downloads" directory > - automatic creation of "index.html" in "Documents" if it doesn't exist > (uses an empty 5.1.19 tiddlywiki) > - prompts for permission to access files on start (no need to open > settings) > > > This is the first Android app I ever made - my skills are based on > googling and copy-paste ;) > > If anyone is interested to help adding features or to help testing, don't > hesitate to leave me a reply in this thread > > > Here attached is an installable android apk and the saver plugin.
