TiddlyWiki ios android syncing solution needed

[Angel Wong]

Hello, I would like to see if there are any options that can save data usage.

I can successfully sync and edit with TiddlyDrive, but the data usage is quite big each time I open or edit and sync the HTML file, which is not so good when Wifi is not available.

Without sacrificing the convenience to reduce data usage by turning off auto-save or editing the HTML separately on an offline platform, is there any easier options to cut data usage? 

Thank you.

Angel,

If your tiddlywiki is inside an app such as quine it only accesses the local file, no data needed. Then the trick is to sync it at home (not sure for Quine)

If  a single file wiki is already loaded in the mobile browser and you turn off auto-save, it will stay in the browser until you close the tab, you could protect yourself further by having the local storage plugin active and saving any changed tiddler. This will need a manual save once you return to your wifi and can still save to tiddlydrive then when you are on cheep data. The local storage has some caveats for its use, such as don't use it on a low memory remaining device and the browser may purge the local storage.

There are so many ways to achieve what you ask, it is a matter of rounding down the options and asking for help here.

Regards

Tony

My favorite syncing solution so far has been Syncthing [0]. I don't use it for TiddlyWiki, but I believe it would work just fine. It's very easy to set up, and has great configuration options for when it syncs. You can set to only sync on Wi-Fi (which is what I use), only when plugged in, or for five minutes every hour. The version I use on Android is Syncthing-Fork [1].
