Folks, An observation and a Question.
*Purpose:* To enable a simpler multi-device use of tiddlywiki. *Background/context* Using a Single file wiki it is loaded into the browser and remains there until the tab is closed. If I obtained the wiki from a network location and I have lost the connection, I can't save back there, but I can continue to make changes and save once my connection is reestablished. I can make this more robust with the local storage plugin (keeping in mind its limitations). When using a server based node or Bob wiki just having the tiddlywiki in the browser may not be enough to keep working offline, especially if skinny tiddlers etc.. are in use. In bob the reconnect message gets in the way of use. *What?* Of course there are many reasons including size we may use a server implementation, but for the smaller server wikis is there a way to guarantee the whole wiki exists in the browser tab memory, so we can continue using the wiki offline? until reconnection occurs? *Why?* - This would allow a server deployed wiki to be opened via a mobile device browser and remain on that device (at most saving a local backup) until it reconnects to the server. - This would satisfy most single user, multi-device requirements especially with bob being able to handle contention. - This would allow any wiki to go roaming and sync on return to the server. *Issues* - Saved or not, navigating away from a wiki in a tab could make it difficult to return to when offline, or even when back online. Could something be done to permit return to a device cached address, perhaps with the use of local storage? Ie one can return to what looks like the server address but load the local browser/storage copy? Pending access to the actual server.
