Hi Riz,
 

> Hi BTC,

Thanks for mentioning the webdav app, I didn't know there was one for 
Android. Therefor I can't tell what the differences are
I'm not really interested in anything where I have to set something up. I 
want an app that just lets me start doing something using Android-native 
features and finally making TW interact with them

The app should be designed similar to TiddlyDesktop, with a landing page 
where I can create or select wikies

I want to be able to have different wikies open at the same time

I'm trying to figure out if that landing page can be accessed by swiping in 
from the left from any wiki, would be good

I want the share mechanism working, so that I can share with TW from other 
apps. It should allow selecting the wiki I want to share with

Sharing should also work from within TW. I'm thinking about an extra export 
button that opens a "share with" dialog

I want to solve the current shortcomings with going fullscreen (and 
fullscreen content like yt videos probably)

Basically, I want to make the App integrated and communicating with the 
system first, and then build up on that

Then I'd like to explore widgets and notifications and all those extra 
goodies Android provides

Yes, that's very important to me, too. I started with the simplest way I 
found for saving the file, without having to dig too deep into the 
mechanisms. I think I'll get there during the process

* Ability to share text to a default tiddlywiki, which will be stored as a

Yeah right, setting a tw as default makes great sense. That shouldn't be 
too complicated. I think Android already remembers such selections, for 
example when I open a link it asks me which browser and if I want to always 
open links with that browser. So the mechanism is there and I'd just try 
using it

That's a no-brainer

Yep, maybe, would be cool. I'd have to gather some ideas about the how-to 
...

* Where to put the files - or tell a process to just sync that selected TW 
from wherever it is?
* What syncing mechanism ... I haven't explored how easy it'll be to use my 
Linux knowledge within Android, but I think starting a sync command should 
not be the most difficult thing to do. I've seen that I can make background 
services. I think a button somewhere that launches a sync could already be 
sufficient, I like the idea of being in charge about what and when to sync
* What should be the sync target of choice, should there be more, can it be 
made configurable to just add a preferred target... ? Android lets us add 
accounts, maybe they can be accessed for syncing ... 
* This is something to figure out... The more help I find with this the 
more likely it becomes to be realized

Thanks Riz, you've triggered a pretty good brainstorming :)

all the best,
