Mark, As I understand it this is already possible. External Javascript. I also wonder if one could selectively remove code not used, however this would need an analysis process. And an exclusion on save, perhaps an alternate core plugin. The dynamic range of application of tiddlywiki would pos

If TW5 could be made to run like javascript, then you could separate the core from the working files. So you could have a local core library which all your tiddlywiki files could resource, without having to include them in every download/upload/save. On Monday, November 2, 2020 at 11:00:21 PM U

All, Out of curiosity, when we say TW is big, what do we mean? relative to what? TWC? Anything else besides that? What is the incentive to make it smaller and smaller? Something like: "The smaller TW gets, the more we _"? On Wednesday, November 4, 2020 at 2:52:00 PM UTC-6 TW Tones wrote:

Mohammad, I think you will find empty.html is near its smallest, and as speeds and storage increases this size becomes even less important, but yes we hope tiddlywiki is universal, and there are very different circumstances the world over. - On the server side there is a way to externalise

On a desktop with a local file, it doesn't make much difference. But on a small, older device over a slow data feed larger sizes will mean longer loading times and slower operation. On Wednesday, November 4, 2020 at 7:07:30 AM UTC-8, odin...@gmail.com wrote: > > Pardon my ignorance. But what a

What makes you think that TW *can* be stripped down? TW was *born* overweight, compared to TWC. My guess is that the reason TW5 is so much bigger, is that so much of the core is written in wikitext instead of javascript. This makes TW5 extensible, but also bulkier. On Monday, November 2, 2020

One thing that takes up space is the set of language tiddlers for translating to other languages. English-speakers don't need those, usually. What if those could be a plugin? Or else an English-only version stripped of those tiddlers? Feels arrogant and colonial even mentioning it. I only menti
