The problem is that the single file version runs in the browser context and
that prevents it from accessing the file system, you need something to
bridge that which is what node does. Anything that is supposed to solve the

What if one of the Core Tiddlers was a Java web server running on
localhost, which the rest of the Core sync'd to?
Wouldn't that local Java web server have access to write files?

I'd like to add this from another thread. The point on this was about
different ways of solving a problem. Jed and I were discussing whether it
could be INTERNAL TW or EXTERNAL manipulation of a TW. Jeremy commented.

As far as the easy deployment of node.js apps goes, I am working on making
a control interface and data dashboard for my robot using tiddlywiki. The
robot runs in node so I have the same script running both tiddlywiki and
the robot. I set up bi-directional communication between the robot and the

Arlen,
I'm a part of the minority which cannot use USB sticks at work. Security
recognizes and blocks flash drives. The more restrictive my environment

I don't think it's right to characterise the problems as being with the
single file architecture, because I don't really see TW as a single file
architecture, any more than Excel. TW is a progr
I don't actually know. I am allowed to use USB thumb drives, though. So it
is something to think about.

Dear Eric!
Who said YOU are not being able to resolve it, or YOU do not want too, because
other feature are deemed more important? Really...

TiddlyFox, like TW Desktop, saved the TW file whenever a Tiddler was closed. So
no dialog vs. 4 step. Any dialog causes more complexity.
Why have word processors / text editors auto safe feature? Because they are

Hi Josiah,
I might be an even more naïve user than yourself. I think it's safe to say
that the basic users of the world really don't think about making backups
of anything. At all. Ever. No matter how many, many, many times they are
told to do so. Just me speaking from the pov of being the most

It's clear what you'd "rather" talk about.
Thank you Eric for taking the time to thoughtfully lay out the detailed
history. I really appreciate it.
By way of reply I'd like to divide between two things. Its just a way of
talking, though perhaps brings a bit from a slightly different perspective.

I develop my TW code inline; currently from a file, as there's a lot to do
handling the upgrade to TW5, but hopefully, in the future, from the browser

Hi Akos,
I'm really not qualified to comment. All I'd say is that the impression I
have from Jeremy's and other's responses to this question is that the
reasons the save issue hasn't been solved is due to technical difficulties

Jon, I do not think I (we) lack the appreciation for the complexities of the
problem. As a user, we bow to the Almighty Powers of The Developers, but I
think you underestimate how important an easy save feature is, as we have it
now.
The problem as we see it, is very relevant to the use and spr
Josiah,
You seem to be pushing for something which you see as inconvenient without
appreciating the underlying complexities involved, which as a "naive" user
myself, I can only guess at.
I just think that if there was a quick fix to this issue, Jeremy would have
already introduced it.

If you had read any javascript book from the 90s, they would have assured

system. What TW/TW5 managed to do for so long was nearly miraculous.
