[TW5] Introducing my Plugin Library

[andrew harrison]

It's been on a back burner for awhile now, adding plugins until I finally decided to try to figure out how Jeremy, Tobias and Jed created Libraries for their plugins. Now, I present my Plugin Library. Enjoy, and let me know what you think.

[Danielo Rodríguez]

Hey, I have a couple of questions:

The first and most important, because the other questions depend on this one

1. Can I add your plugin library as part of the default distribution of NoteSelf ?

Now the questions if you answer yes to the first one

1. Does your plugin library plugin live on any github repository ? If so, which one?
2. Is there any particular build process that I can use to automatically build your plugin so I can always include the latest version ?

Thanks and regards

Hi Andrew,

Nice work. except the background.

Sorry to say this but IMO you have to be completely color blind, to be able to read anything on the page.

Someone else has made a plugin library!! Now I just need to actually update mine more often.

I would love to take a look at it but I can't actually read anything on the site. That background makes it almost impossible for me to read anything and now I have a headache.

As a note for the future, that background is almost exactly what not to do to make something readable for someone who is dyslexic.

the colorfull background image is stored in :

Ciao Andrew

Its nice to see your Plugin Library (even though I had to wear polaroid sunglasses to cope with the 1965 psychedelics).

You have made some really neat things! Some of which I was not aware of till now. So, thanks!

On a slightly broader point -- Plugin Libraries are good news for everyone. It makes the many plugins that have been made more easily accessible.

And Libraries of Plugin Libraries is a simple form of aggregation that I am sure will have great benefits for all.

Best wishes

Jeremy, Tobias and Jed created Libraries

...and now @Andrew - very cool!!

I would probably attempt(!) to add my name to this exclusive list if it weren't for the fact that plugin libraries, or at least the plugin library handler, needs a serious UX make over. Waaay to obscure given how important plugins are in TW.

...but that's another matter: 

@Andrew - congratulations!

Seriously, you should go Library. And you have a Hooker waiting to do work.

Thank you all for your input. I will seriously work on that horrible background. Sorry for the headaches. This is why I love this group. Everyone is willing to pitch in and offer suggestions. Thank you.

@Danielo, absolutely, this is open source stuff. I haven't yet got the license stuff in there, but its the same one as the core. Take it, tweak it, change it, make your own based on it or even your own plugins with parts or all of it. It's all good and free. Yes it lives on github at https://github.com/Infurnoape/infurnoape.github.io and I have no idea about automatically building things. I am new to github and I really didn't know what I was doing so I probably didn't create it right. If anyone would care to help me, I was hoping I could figure out how to create tiddlywiki pages for the plugins and also migrate my main site t5a.tiddlyspot.com to github also. Any suggestions? I promise to change that background, it will have to wait a few days though.

[Andrew]

Randombackground plugin updated to version 0.1.2 from 0.1.1 with new default background. The 1965 psychedelics are gone with the new day. I hope Rainbow Exploding Stars which is still colorful will not cause any more headaches. No, I am not color blind. As a reminder, it can be replaced with something else by editing the plugin tiddler. Please let me know if there is anything else not up to date or anything.

[Danielo Rodríguez]

Andrew, I have an example reposition Wich builds static sites directly from GitHub.
Also the Noteself repo includes some of this magic ,you can check it out

I've added it to my "library of other people's TiddlyWiki libraries". http://thelostadmin.tiddlyspot.com/#Links
