I have the good fortune to own an Android phone, an iPad, a PC, and use a Mac at work. What is the best method (s) to be able to seamlessly use and update the same TW on each of these platforms? It's really hampering my ability to go all in when I don't know the best way to do this.

I am trying to use BobEXE to host my TiddlyWiki on my local network with a Windows PC. Then, connect to a VPN of the local network to use it.

Setting it up on tiddlyspot for web access is a quick and easy route. It can be password protected too.

Hi LG,

Dropbox is an easy solution too.

Dropbox and any other cloud services for syncing the html version of TW I like for its portability and elegance.

Best,

I've had good success with https://tiddlydrive.github.io/ I can access and edit my tiddlywiki from my Android phone's browser (Opera), ipad (Safari), or desktop (Windows or Mac). Google Drive allows you to roll back to a previous revision if you make a mistake. The only downside is images and the whole image uploading workflow. I haven't found a good way of dealing with images and external files. Ideally they would be stored in a folder next to the wiki in Google Drive. Then I could just reference them instead of embedding them in my tiddlywiki. Right now, I believe you would have to share out each file and copy the public link and then reference that link in a tiddler. It would be nice if I could just reference a relative url instead like ./image/myimage.jpg. That would allow things to be more portable, but relative links to images and files won't work with Google Drive.
