Confused noob

[George Albercook]

Here are some of the things that I'm confused about.

1) Can I use it on my Android phone? I do most of my research on my phone.

1.1) If so do I need another app like AndTidWiki or TiddlyDrive

1.1.1) I read a couple places that Dropbox and Google Drive were not eager to host things like TW. Does that impact saving to Google drive?

2) I have tons of chrome bookmarks can I use TW5 to annotate them?

3) When I make a YouTube Video I offer do a lot of research before hand. Is TW5 a good place to put that research and if so how can I share it with viewers? I.e. a link in the description?

3.1) will a that link take them to the entire wiki?

3.1.2) wouldn't the formatting of TW5 be confusing to my viewers?

3.2) Do some of the other versions Stroll, Roam, focus on formatting so that toddlers can be published like blog entries or social media posts?

4) Was going to start putting my research on a New Google Site. So I could have links, notes, figures topically organized. One benefit is that it would be easy to link to it from a YouTube description. It seems like a huge waste of time to do both. I think I understand that the content for New Google Sites is in the form of files on Google Drive. In this way can I use TiddlyDrive to effectively host/ publish my TiddlyWiki?

4) I will look at more general tutorials if it looks like I can do the things that I want with TW5.

Thanks

Hello,

 

1.1.1: Any kind of file can be put in Google Drive, but can only open if you have an app that can open the file.  So like a doc has the Google Doc app, or a sheet has the Google sheet app, TW needs the TiddlyDrive app.  I have multiple TW  instances in Google Drive, and TiddlyDrive allows opening and saving the TW's like a champ.  (Do note that Google Docs and Google Sheets continuously and automatically save edits as they happen.  TiddlyDrive settings allows the same behaviour for saving, or you can specify the TiddlyWiki ought only be saved when you press the save button.)

3.  Sure TW is great for entering info about your research, but giving your world-wide YouTube video watcher access to your research info in your TW with the TW stored in Google Drive won't work (as far as I know.)  It would probably be best to keep your "work in progress" TW in Google Drive, and export the TW as a static site (i.e. a bunch of HTML pages) to be hosted somewhere.  Provide links from YouTube (or wherever else) to individual static pages.

3.1.2 The export of your TW as a static site should not confuse your viewers.

4. An entire Google Site is saved as one file in Google Drive, sort of like how multiple sheets in one Google Sheet are all in one file

Those are a few thoughts to hold you over until other folk who are more in the know can chime in.

Cheers !
