Alternative solution of BobEXE on iPad?

[Angel Wong]

Hi. I would like to ask if there is any way to achieve saving tiddlers as individual files on iPad since I am using BobEXE on my Windows computers and tiddlers are synced with Google Drive.

Currently, I plan to use remote desktop to control my laptop when needed but it doesn't work when there is no Internet connection. 

Thank you.

Basically you need an app that can run NodeJS, and although Bob isn't currently setup for that format, it probably could be. I'm not sure what would be required, nor do I know whether iOS would allow it to run in the background. There are ways to let it run in the background, but they're definitely hacks.

Actually, though, Bob uses a lighter format that does not load a full wiki server, so if you're looking for something equivalent to Bob, that's going to be easier for someone to come up with than trying to run the full NodeJS server.

Thank you for your reply. I discovered play.js on the app store but I am not sure about whether it can run the wiki smoothly like on node.js. I am also not sure whether I can sync the tiddlers easily.

If there is an iOS solution, I will definitely pay for it.

I believe there is an alternative to termux on Android that gives you a command prompt on iOS in which you can use npm and install tiddlywiki.

You can launch multiple wikis with a particular command line the hardest part reloading after restart.

Are you not interested in the app?

another way is to host the wiki somewhere load it into the browser and sync when you return but I have not tested it.
