ThirdFlow plugin development plugin 1.2.0 with new "Skeleton Plugin Kickstarter" and new "Automated Release Mechanism"

[TheDiveO]

Greetings,

my ThirdFlow plugin is now at version 1.2.1 and that's new...

The plugin skeleton is now easer to use than before: simply copy the subdir with all its content, run "npm install" on it, then "npm run develop". When navigating to "localhost:8080" you'll be now greeted with the new "Plugin Kickstarter".



Releasing files is easier than before; there's no need to edit the release script anymore, but instead there's a new control panel thingie:



Simply check the plugins you want to release files for and specify their filenames. Optionally, you can also release a demo wiki from your development wiki. Simply check and set the filename.

To create the release files, run "npm run release"; files will be in "./editions/release/output/".

Happy plugin developing!

There's now a walk-through video showing how to kickstart development of a new plugin.: https://youtu.be/BFE6PFZ_uWQ

Hi TheDiveO,

I start using this great app for plugins development and found it quite useful!

But as described in the documentation, when I use skeleton (kickstarter) I have to run the 

npm install

and it will install a fresh Tiddlywiki version! This make the folder big in size!

I wish to know can I change the configuration to use my TW version installed with node.js and prevent

redundant installation of TW in each plugin project folder!

Note: For simplicity I use separate project folder for each plugin! and I do not want to have several plugins in the same folder.
