Can't say much as to how this works technically, but as a naive user of both Imgur and TWOF, i can affirm that:
1. I use Imgur both on web *and* mobile, to read and post both public *and* hidden images and albums, and the authentication is perfectly seamless; enter id & pwd once, and it will remember your codes as long as you like (maybe there's a default logout, but i'm in often enough, it seems never have to re-authenticate). Can't speak to the Android issue that @Mark raised, but the iOS app works great for me. 2. As for TiddlyWiki-On-Fission: this too seemed a perfectly seamless experience, when i set up this instance <https://walt.files.fission.name/p/TiddlyFission.html> back in March; haven't done much with it since then, as it still carries the not-ready-for-production-use disclaimer, but even now... The way this tech connects your browser's localStorage to the IPFS cloud in such a way that you can totally forget about where the files reside just feels to like magic of the right kind. Like: this is the way it *should* work, everywhere. Yet, there being "no free lunch," i guess there's gotta be a host in there somewhere -and so, w/r/t/ images at least, in terms of both technical and end-user values, TWOF & Imgur look to me like being pretty well-aligned. By far the lion's share of image-enhanced tiddlers i have created are pulling from Imgur-hosted links already, so if i could upload and/or download to&from there from within TW itself, that would be awesome! Is this consistent w/ the vision for TW-on-Fission, i wonder? /walt On Wednesday, August 4, 2021 at 2:50:55 PM UTC+1 Mark S. wrote: > > > On Tuesday, August 3, 2021 at 7:48:10 PM UTC-7 TW Tones wrote: > >> Saq, > > >> There remains a barrier to my understanding because most of the details >> seem to make sense to "those in the know." >> >> > Yes!
