I use tiddlywiki in a corporate computer, so I can't install node.js, so I can't play with it.
All I know about node.js is reading the docs and watching the videos.

Here you will find a video about how can you generate a static site with tiddlywiki.

Hi Luis, I am the creator of the video that you linked to. Thank you for linking to it. I also use regular TiddlyWiki in a corporate environment. I save the TiddlyWiki NodeJS usage for when I'm at home. :)

This video taught  me a lot about node.js - tiddlywiki

This is what I need to learn  about tiddlywiki. If you have more videos or other kind or reource to learn tiddlywiki at node.js, please tell me.


I'm trying to make a little manual and I thank you a lot


The video is perfect to me!!
Thanks

If you have a home computer, or even a phone/tablet with >= Android 5 you can run node.js (or at least tiddlyserver) on your own system.

To me, unless you're doing something that specifically requires node (like creating static pages automatically, running multi-user Bob,
serving files on your local network, or contributing to a github project), there isn't that much advantage to using node.

One key advantage of NodeJS TW is that tiddlers are saved as individual files, so we can edit tiddlers via any program and use version control on a per-tiddler level.

I haven't found much call to edit tiddlers with something else, especially since nothing else understands wikitext. Nor for controlling version per tiddler. Controlling version per tiddler is, as mentioned, mostly useful if you're contributing to a project of which your tiddlers are a small part (e.g. the TiddlyWiki project itself). But for personal use ... not so much.

Is that the Brave browser, and if so, does it still support RSS viewing?
Kind of annoyed with FF for removing RSS support for "security" reasons.

Yes, it's Brave, but no, I doesn't really do RSS feeds. As you can see in the video, the atom feed is rendered in a weird/ugly way — not nearly as nicely as Firefox used to support. :(

Brandon,
 Thank you for the video! It would be great if you could prepare a small instruction on a public wiki describing how to create such static web siate using TW+Node.js!

Yes, I probably will eventually, especially as the video's likely too long/slow for most people. Until then, I recommend that you check out the guide here: https://www.didaxy.com/exporting-static-sites-from-tiddlywiki

Just in case there's some confusion: the guide that I linked to isn't mine. But if you're commenting regarding the video, thanks! 😅
