Beaker Browser (https://beakerbrowser.com <https://beakerbrowser.com/>) is a very interesting new browser forked from Chromium that adds the ability to serve sites to other browsers over a peer-to-peer network. It seems like a perfect fit for TiddlyWiki.
The browser can host a number of sites, each of which is a bundle of files and folders. They are served on a protocall called “Dat”, where the URLs look like this: dat://eaec2913b78d11a81a68775068fb3107e9029b746e7cbc6d1a1926190c9f6f05/index.html <dat://eaec2913b78d11a81a68775068fb3107e9029b746e7cbc6d1a1926190c9f6f05/index.html> My Beaker Browser will serve that URL to other browsers; other Beaker Browsers can view the site, and fork it. I’ve made a brief video that demonstrates how to get up and running in the most basic way: https://youtu.be/SFf3BkxmrCQ <https://youtu.be/SFf3BkxmrCQ> The video doesn’t show an extremely neat feature called “Live Reload” where clients get automatically reloaded when the site changes. The next step is to use the Dat API to create a saver module for TW5 so that one can edit and save directly. The resulting user experience will be just like TiddlyFox; saving will just work. If it’s not clear that I’m quite excited, I think this is the distributed TiddlySpot that we’ve been waiting for. The nice simple API would make it a great platform for TWederation, for example: https://beakerbrowser.com/docs/apis/dat.html <https://beakerbrowser.com/docs/apis/dat.html> If you’re interested to try it out, install the software and try the dat: URL I gave above. Create your own site and post the URL here. Best wishes Jeremy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
