My vision had nothing to do with a federated messaging platform, that was the simplest application we could built that was immediately understandable. So we made it and it works, but we only had 4 or 5 people who were actually interested in it which isn't enough to sustain it so it has been sitting unused for the past few years. My original use for it was to get content from other wikis on my computer so I could do things like searching other wikis and sharing content between my own wikis.
That is not at all what I said about http vs https, and that is not how either works. The server that provides the information determines the level of security, so http vs https, the requesting node makes very little difference. Otherwise a browser would not be able to access both http and https sites. Everything with TWederation is done in the browser. The security restriction is that if you have a page hosted on a server using https you can not make requests to pages that are served using http. If you are on a page being served by http you can make requests to https sites with no trouble. and what you describe in your standards thing is a nice description of what twederation is and how the network works. It isn't a description of things to come, it is where we are. For your suggestion about making subsets available for easier consumption, you are describing exactly what a plugin library does. Which we can do, but it requires more than just a single file on a static file server to accomplish. And to be clear, your second post about getting tiddlers from the same server, is exactly the point of twederation and the first application of it that I gave when I released it years ago. So what you describe, about a multi-user wiki with single file wikis, was always the point and was achieved years ago. This is what has been so frustrating for me with this, over half of the suggestions I get for features are features that already exist or I get requests to extend it that describe exactly what it currently does. And that is more aggravation that I want to deal with in my life. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
