My cross platform TiddlyWiki solution

[Andy Pastuszak]

I decided to take some time and find a way to get Tiddlywiki on all my devices and have the ability to edit on any of them.  Here is what I came up with:

Devices:

Apple iPad Air 2

Lenovo ThinkPad T440 running Arch Linux

Motorola Moto X Pure 2015

So, I need to deal with Linux, Android and iOS.

Here is what I came up with:

1.  On the iPad I installed TWEdit and use it to sync my TiddlyWiki to Dropbox

2.  On the desktop PC, I simply use Firefox and the TiddlyFox extension.

3.  On Android, I installed Firefox for Android and the TiddlyFox extension.  I also insatlled Dropsync

On the iPad TWedit expects your Tiddlywiki files to reside inside your Dropbox folder under Apps/TWSync.  Any TiddlyWikis you put in there will get synced to the iPad.

The desktop is obviously a non-issue since you just navigate to Dropbox/Apps/TWSync and edit your Tiddlywiki.

Android took 2 steps.  I setup and installed Dropsync and told it to sync the folder Apps/TWSync with a folder on mt SDcard I called TiddlyWiki.  You can obviously call it everything you want.  I did the initial sync.

I then went to into my file manager (ES File Exporer in my case), and browsed to my file.  I clicked on it and chose Firefox from list of available apps.

Once in Firefox, I clicked on the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner and went to Page.  Under Page I chose Add to Home Screen and I was done.

If there is a better way to do this, please feel free to share.
