Note, this topic is the same as here: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/2763 -- however on google groups is the better place for such a question


I already know about the TWEdit App for the iPhone, however the App is not free though.

Is there a free alternative?
Note, i only speak about reading the TW5 offline on a mobile device and not editing it.

What is the best solution to do such? Would the easiest way be, to export the whole TW5 into a pdf or export all tiddlers onto one single huge static page?

Thanks for your help

Hi

I load wikis in my browser (laptop and mobile) at home. They stay there with full functionality as long as I don’t close the tab.

TWEdit is a nice tool too. Still working for me.

Have fun!

TiddlyWiki's will run on Android with either Firefox browser (probably other browsers too) or the app AndTidWiki. The app allows the text to flow to fit the screen edges better. I'm pretty sure you can then use Dropbox to sync your file, though I usually either connect via usb connector and my computer's file manager or the application SyncThing.  I've also used the for-pay app Cheetah sync, which might be easier to set up then SyncThing.

As others have said it runs fine in the browser. I even got TiddlyFox to load in Firefox on Android, though I think I may have had to jump through a hoop to install the plugin, I can't recall. It wasn't a complicated hoop.

Then with Firefox + tiddlyfox + DriveSync (sync a Google drive folder to the phone) it stayed up to date and I could even edit and save with one click on the phone. Drive Sync can even monitor for file changes and sync immediately.

Note it does help to slide in the menu bar on the side so that the "story" takes up the whole page.
