Folks,

A Quick idea for comment,

I use Office 365 in the cloud with Office 2016 installed on my Windows 
machine. Firefox will open an office 365  file referenced in my local 
application such as word, excel and PowerPoint. 

I have some technical understanding of this, but want to keep this 
suggestion high-level. 

Why could we not provide the ability to open tiddlywiki files in our own 
local platform from the browser, based on node, which then provides a URL 
address to the open the file in a browser? We can leverage the work in in 
NodeJS, TiddlyServer or Tiddly Desktop to do this.

With this model we would need one solution for each operating system and 
browser, but they would have a similar usage model, the local "tiddlywiki 
server" need only be installed once, then for every tiddlywiki used from 
that point forward, on that computer it will work. Since its configuration 
is driven by the selection of TiddlyWiki files in the browser, except for 
installing the "tiddlywiki Server" this should make it easy for newbies and 
distribution. It also becomes optionally accessible from other devices in 
the network.

The Only gap I see is for circumstances where peoples ability has being 
restricted such as in the workplace, but then a portable app on a USB or a 
hosted solution may be the best fit anyway.

I see this going a long way to increasing the access and usability of 
tiddlywiki in the changing browser environment. I cant see changes 
destroying what is an important feature for a behemoths like Microsoft 
Office any time soon.

Future possibilities include importing file based wikis into folder based 
wikis (nodeJS) and networking them into a nodeJS messaging, Federation and 
Tiddler Share Environment. When the method presents a wealth of features, 
people do not tend to consider it a problem.

Regards
Tony
