Can you see the attached pictures?


Yes, it is tiddlywiki running on an e-reader. Specifically the Kobo aura h2o. It works reasonably well. This is the full tiddlywiki.com site, so smaller tiddlywikis without images should work even better. Scrolling is a bit slow, but every button and component works as expected.




This was the only serious drawback, searching:



At the end, searching worked, but after typing the first "t" it took the browser ten seconds to allow me typing the second character. That is ridiculous. Do we really need to search a single character in a wiki full of text? I can't see anyone doing that, I never did. Every search engine on every application/website I know limits the search to be at least three characters long. Maybe we can start at two, but seriously one character is ridiculous and it is useless in 99% of situations. The benefits are non existent and it causes enough performance issues in such big number of platforms to consider it.

Regards.

Aha!

Check out the youtube chanel Good E-reader. I found them just some weeks ago because, it seems, like you I want a e-ink tablet for TW. I'm hoping to have one on the wall e.g in the kitchen so to have my "household TW" immediately accessible. My impression is that so far they're not good enough but I may be wrong. I asked Good E-reader to do more reviews on the browser features, a typically weak area on these things from what I've seen.

For anyone who doesn't know; the benefit with e-readers (using e-ink or similar) is that it uses almost no electricity when it shows a static image (like the typical TW). This means you can leave it on almost permanently.

Good point. Even two characters probably. Will you post an Issue?
