[tw] [TW5] Google Drive backend for TW5 - your thoughts please
Hi all,
I've just been playing with TW5 on Google Drive [TW5][TWC] Host your
TiddlyWiki on Google Drive
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/tiddlywiki/google$20drive$20/tiddlywiki/pEEi9evWUJQ/zaWHphdDUQAJ
- hosting works fine but as the OP points out saving changes is a real
pain. I was thinking of a back-end against the Drive SDK
https://developers.google.com/drive/web/about-sdk, along the lines of a
Drive app, which could take care of this and make it a seamless experience
(similar to http://dropbox.tiddlywiki.com/).
http://dropbox.tiddlywiki.com/ I think it fits in nicely with the idea
of having TW5 plugged into different back-ends ('cloud-neutral'?).
What do you think? Would it be hard to do (a Javascript API is
available)? Would it be a lot of work to maintain, given the rapid
evolution of TW5? Would people use it?
Happy tiddling,
Pete

Re: [tw] Re: Application that writes a TiddlyWiki
Why not plain ol' HTML? - the branches (edges) of your tree become hyperlinks - you can scale the number of files/pages as you like, trading off the efficiency of your file system vs. rendering time in browser - you're already writing a text file, html requires minimal overhead and work - that's what html was invented for Good luck, Pete On Tuesday, 4 March 2014 14:16:20 UTC, Timothy Groves wrote: Well, thanks to all that replied...TW is still pretty cool, and I will use it for other things...

Re: [tw] Re: Application that writes a TiddlyWiki
PS: If you can specify a grammar for your data you can then use tools like doxygen to create a fully indexed, cross-linked, searchable wiki-style structure. But may be overkill for your needs. OTOH 'looking' at 150MM items of data in a hierarchical tree structure is probably as much fun as poking your eye with a stick ;-) Pete On Wednesday, 5 March 2014 09:13:09 UTC, Peter Vogt wrote: Why not plain ol' HTML? - the branches (edges) of your tree become hyperlinks - you can scale the number of files/pages as you like, trading off the efficiency of your file system vs. rendering time in browser - you're already writing a text file, html requires minimal overhead and work - that's what html was invented for Good luck, Pete On Tuesday, 4 March 2014 14:16:20 UTC, Timothy Groves wrote: Well, thanks to all that replied...TW is still pretty cool, and I will use it for other things...

Re: [tw] Re: Application that writes a TiddlyWiki
Sorry, just checked but the tool I was thinking of is not doxygen... May be worth asking on stack overflow if you want to pursue that avenue.

[tw] Re: [TW5] vs [TWC] for new wikis?
Leo bluespire, Thank you both for you insights, they are very helpful. I'm still finding out more and more about both, seems to be quite a bumpy process with valuable info all over the place. TW5 seems to be progressing quite fast though. @Leo: yes I saw your other posts and been wondering the same, also your observation on how long TW has been around and seemingly abandoned in places. Quite odd. Perhaps some of the longtime users will be able to shed some light on this. Many thanks Pete On Friday, 17 January 2014 01:08:56 UTC, Leo Staley wrote: I'm also new, but I've settled on TWC. TW5 still has loads of bugs to work out, and is still missing quite a few core features like permalinks. So, I personally suggest TWC. I actually asked a related question yesterday. I wanted to know how I should build my TWC so as to cause the least friction when adopting TW5 down the line, after it finally has the features I need.

[tw] [TW5] Nodejs TiddlyWiki wont serve on port 80 [solved]
I looked through the code as to why and then realised that node does not have root priviledge and therefore wont listen on port 1023 without tinkering. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6109089/how-do-i-run-node-js-on-port-80 for discussion and options. Just posting this as I looked here first for a fix ;-) Pete -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups TiddlyWiki group.
