First release of

[Lin Onetwo]

Hi, I've been recently working on a new Desktop App for TiddlyWiki, which focuses on syncing data to Github and providing extra nodejs API to TiddlyWiki plugins.

https://github.com/tiddly-gittly/TiddlyGit-Desktop

Most of the code is based on my experience using Tiddlywiki-NodeJS-Github-Template this year, but I've implement git-sync in TiddlyGit-Desktop, so sync experience will be much better.

This is still the first alpha release, to show the possibility, if you like it, you can click "watch -> Release Only" to get updates on the future versions.

I will implement a TiddlyGit-Mobile in the future, after TiddlyGit-Desktop is stable, if I have time...

This App is totally free, but it is based on my friend's App's code, there may be a prompt asking for license code, just ignore it, I will remove this in the next release.

Thanks for sharing stuff - I'm afraid I have to ask some totally basic questions:

This is an app I download to my desktop - yes?

It is used do open/run tiddlywikis that are not stored on my computer but on github - yes?

I'm supposed to install the app on all devices from which I want to access the wikis - yes?

The wikis on github are stored as files, like the tiddlywiki5 respository - yes?

Thank you.

<:-)

Followed! Very very cool, Lin. 

Is this for single wiki at a time? Single repo?

Can you use Bob with it seamlessly?

Looking forward to digging in here, and I noticed a shout out for my VSCode TW5 Syntax extension in your readme. Mahalo (thank you)!

Best,

Hi, Mat

It it still an early version, I'm planning to allow it clone a repo from Github. For now, it:

1. is an electron with size of 400M, wow, to download to your desktop

1. I have to pull repo from Github to your computer to work, it start an nodejs wiki server on local wiki folder

1. If you have two PC, you have to install two instance of App, this is not a SaaS, it don't have an online service

1. yes, it is like tiddlywiki5 respository, with saparate tid files, so git commit will be much clear, and this enables timemachine using git operation

Hi Joshua,

I'm going to add Bob to it, maybe this week,

because Bob supports git operations pretty well, git checkout will immediately reflect in the wiki in the browser, this is issentional for a sync-to-github wiki.

This app can add multiple workspace, just like TiddlyWikiDesktop, and sync to multiple Github repos.

And there can be private workspace, sync to private repo, and use $:/config/FileSystemPaths to set tiddler with certain tag be put into that workspace.

So I'm waiting for your https://github.com/OokTech/TW5-Bob/issues/130 [Bug] Tiddlers filepath/fileInfo does not update when using $:/config/FileSystemPaths
to be merged :P
