Hi Jed, Ed here, >From Amsterdam -> Paris Finally time to get back here.
I think BoB is an excellent program, still pestered by some hiccups, although these are probably my mistakes. Hope really that you still go on developing the program as the potential is absolutely great. I try, already for quite some time to "convert" some colleagues at work to use TiddlyWiki, but seems still to arcane for them. Mainly because of lack of documentation, that can be understood at a simpler level then here in the Google Groups is discussed or written at tiddlywiki.com Anyway I tried out Bob here at work, as I seemed to me a great way to share information. It worked, though sometimesthe connection was lost and it beats me why I had to use one time port 8081 and another time 8080. Baffling for an IT-unsavy person like me. Oh, and please change in the introduction tiddler "Hello!" that "Node Settings" to"BoB Settings" as this is a bit confusing. One colleague started to nose around in that tiddler and could find these"Node Settings" and gave up. That's no ill will or lazyness or what have you, but mainly work pressure. We're really overloaded sometimes. Please go on, Jed, developing this brilliant piece of software!! BTW, anybody else reading this and recognizing the value of Jed's work, get asap to Patreon, only four of us are helping out there!Keep up the Good Work!
