TiddlyWiki with Ipfs

[Xavier Maysonnave]

Dear friends,

I would like to let you know the availability of TiddlyWiki with Ipfs. 

This plugin let you store on Ipfs your wikis and their attachments. 

Attachments could be embedded of stored externally on Ipfs. 

As you may know TiddlyWiki offers a feature who let you encrypt your wikis. 

The TiddlyWiki with Ipfs gives you an opportunity to encrypt your attachments.

The plugin is based on ipfs-provider who offers several ways to connect to Ipfs.

- WebExtension

Not tested yet

- Ipfs Companion

https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/ipfs-companion/?src=search

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ipfs-companion/nibjojkomfdiaoajekhjakgkdhaomnch 

- Ipfs Http client

The default is to use https://ipfs.infura.io:5001 as your default Ipfs Api Url. 

However It is a slow server and I recommend to either use Ipfs Desktop or run a local Ipfs server to enjoy a better experience.

The tool support :

- ipfs

- ipns

The demo page, https://tiddly.bluelightav.eth.link/ is also reachable @ https://tiddly.bluelightav.eth as we are using ENS Manager to manage our DNS.

In case you want to experiment the https://tiddly.bluelightav.eth, users need a web3 compatible client such Metamask:

Thanks

Xavier - I have yet to try it out but it is very much appreciated that you share this!!! 

IMO, IPFS also share overlapping visions and ideology with TW, so that makes it particularly interesting.

I am very interested in this and related technologies as the add substantial possibilities to what can be done to a large internet audience with tiddlywiki.

I hope we will be able to document and support its use be a broad audience including tiddlywiki user base with a diverse set of skill levels.

Some solutions already available are limited by the technical requirements of the platforms they use.

Ipfs sounds like a great technology but it is hard for me to determine what are its best use cases and related factors that would motivate adoption especially when these technologies are unknown. When does it become valid to learn and adopt a new technology.

Thanks so much for your contribution to the community.

Regards
Tony
