I've been looking for an open source tool like Roam Research where I have control of my data. I think I've found it in Stroll!

But I'm starting with the NoteSelf version to avoid the biggest painpoint of TiddlyWiki: saving your progress.

The trouble is that some features of Stroll don't seem to work after I import them into a new NoteSelf empty.
* Relink no longer works. Titles and references aren't changed.
* Reference viewing doesn't work except for Simple Links. Highlights in Context or anything else causes references to disappear.

Am I being to ambitious by trying to combine these two awesome yet not-commercially-supported versions? Is there a simpler way to get cross-device syncing for Stroll?

Cheers,
Christian

Your noteself might be on an old version of tiddlywiki, update your noteslelf and then bring in the stroll, see if that sorts things out.

Does Noteself load tiddlers on demand? If so, getting Stroll to work with it may be a challenge.

Here's another option for an online hosted node version of Stroll:

Upgrade broke the NoteSelf packages :/

NoteSelf is on 5.1.21 and was rolled back last month from 5.1.22.

Thanks for the tutorial for setting up a Node server!

Hereʼs a pure online variant, no downloads required:

Disadvantage: Your app goes to sleep when not in use. Or you have to pay for keeping it awake.

All the best,
