Hi, all. This is a piece of software I wrote to try and get around not being able to edit local TiddlyWiki files in Chrome. With this extension, you can import your wikis into the extension's storage and edit it there.

It's in Closed Beta at the moment. If you want to be a beta tester, you can do so by applying to join this forum: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tiddly-chrome-ex

If your application is accepted, you'll be able to find a link to the Chrome Store page in the welcome message.

NB: If you join the testing programme, please be willing to provide constructive feedback on the forum above by either posting a review or engaging in others' discussions.

For future reference, the official page will be https://lordratte.info/tiddlychromeex/

Joshua,

 I started using chrome-ex! That is absolutely great!
The question is how one can use his/her previous TW5 with this extension? 
What is the difference compared to Timimi addon from Riz?

Import does not work!
Where the files are stored?
Is this an open source addon or closed?
Is it free and users have to pay for it in future

Thank you

Hi, guys.

Thank you for your interest in the extension. If you are trying to import an encrypted TiddlyWiki file, you need to put your password in before clicking "Import Current Page".
If you are still struggling, please post questions with as many details about errors you are getting as possible in the Tester's group that you joined.

As for the other questions:
The files are stored in the browser's local storage.
At the moment, the software is closed source.
At the moment, it's entirely free but there might be premium features later on.

Import does not work even for non-encrypted file!

Hi, Mohammad

I can help you fix it but I need to get info from you about it. The extension is still in beta so there will be various issues. You can post on this group and I'll reply: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tiddly-chrome-ex or email me directly at jos...@lordratte.info

I need to know things like:
What version of Chrome are you using?
What other extensions do you have in Chrome?
What is the URL of the TiddlyWiki that you're trying to import?
Screendhots of any errors.

Thank you for your help. Joshua.
