Not to steal any thunder from Chris Hunt, but I think this deserves a cross post.

Quine 2 is "Ready for Sale" and will appear in the App Store almost immediately.

Sincere thanks to all of the beta testers - it's been so important to have their critical eyes on the App over the last couple of months. They've been a huge help.

I hope Quine 2 doesn't disappoint. As mentioned previously, it has been my primary App on the iPad for over a year now at the same time as I've been refining it and moving over to iOS 13 for multi-window support. 

I am biased of course but for my purposes TiddlyWiki and now Quine 2 are what make the iPad into a productive platform for my needs - ESPECIALLY with multi-window support.

Have fun,

Chris.

P.S. from Arlen: 

This app integrates with the iOS Files app allowing you to access files in cloud storage apps. This means you can edit your files in your Dropbox directly inside Quine 2 and the Dropbox app immediately saves your changes back to Dropbox. It looks like the Google Drive app also has this integration. I think any cloud storage worth their salt probably does.

Another app which lets you integrate with many cloud storage providers, as well as network shares, is FE File Explorer Pro https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fe-file-explorer-pro/id499470113

This is a great day to be an iOS user!

In other words, in case I didn't make it clear, the FE File Explorer app integrates with the Files app as a storage provider, which means that you should be able to use Quine 2 to edit files over the 10+ protocols FE File Explorer supports, just like you can edit your Dropbox files with Quine 2. I didn't test it yet, but I think it should work that way.

This is the best thing in the history of things. It was the one missing thing to make TW a part of my computing everywhere.

I'm glad the thing that is exatly what I wished for turned out to exist and to be only a week or so from completion when I wished for it.

Arlen,

To make sure I understand, if I use node.js TW and keep all of my .tid files on Dropbox. This app will not let me use TW on my ipad like that correct? We have to be in single-file mode with TW for this to work?

Correct. You'll have to find another solution for that.

Hi Diego

If you want to run TW under Node.js on the iPad/iPhone, I recommend using these apps:

* JSBox is a JavsScript IDE that includes Node.js
* Working Copy is a Git client

Both are terrific, deep apps. I’ve got some snippets to help get things running, perhaps start another thread if you’re interested.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Diego,

Not sure if this helps for your purposes, but I do know you can run/save tiddlywiki on iOS using phpwin (app) and store.php (PHP self hosting option on tiddlywiki.com).

I think that still uses single-file wikis, in which case you're still better off using Quine 2. Good to know about that option though, for other related purposes!
