Hi Alex You can get .txt files into your Dropbox, Jeremy are you saying that > node.js could convert them into .tid files?
Yes. You'd either have to massage the .txt files into .tid files as described at http://tiddlywiki.com/#TiddlerFiles, or you could use a companion .meta file to specify the remaining fields. Getting things running smoothly would probably require some changes to TW. What do you have in mind?
