Hi Saq, thank you for the reply!
> Part of the reason you are having trouble locating the source code repositories for plugins is that a lot of the community contributors are not developers, and do not use Github (or any other form of version control). > This is further complicated by the fact the traditional form of TiddlyWiki is a single HTML file, and the established way of installing plugins there is by dragging and dropping tiddlers from one wiki to another. Is there any plan to improve on this side? Plugin discovery and updates seems very manual with lot of potential problems (like version compatibility). Asking mainly because I may help around that area. > Note that this does work on the Node.js version of TiddlyWiki as well. That's awesome and I didn't know that. I'll try this out then, seems a perfect starting point :) Thanks a lot, Edoardo -- Edoardo Tenani - Full Stack Web Developer, Maker about.me/edoardo.tenani GitHub <http://github.com/endorama> LinkedIn <http://it.linkedin.com/in/edoardotenani/> Twitter <http://twitter.com/edoardotenani> On Thu, 17 Sep 2020 at 17:56, Saq Imtiaz <saq.imt...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Edoardo, > > Part of the reason you are having trouble locating the source code > repositories for plugins is that a lot of the community contributors are > not developers, and do not use Github (or any other form of version > control). > > This is further complicated by the fact the traditional form of TiddlyWiki > is a single HTML file, and the established way of installing plugins there > is by dragging and dropping tiddlers from one wiki to another. > > Note that this does work on the Node.js version of TiddlyWiki as well.
