Questions about BOB for the TiddlyWiki toolmap

[David Gifford]

Hi all

I am not up to speed on Bob. Some tell me it has a significant learning curve, something I don't have time or energy for right now.

So my questions are:

1. What category or categories should it be included under in the TiddlyWiki toolmap (https://dynalist.io/d/zUP-nIWu2FFoXH-oM7L7d9DM)?

2. Should it also be its own category? That is, is Bob something that could spawn Bob-specific plugins, extentions, tools, etc that should be counted as a separate category or ecosystem?

Thanks and blessings,

[Mark S.]

I've run couple tests on Bob in the past week.

IMO, I would put it, node.js, and tiddlyserver (which I just realized isn't there yet) under a new category "Networked TiddlyWiki" (or maybe "Servers"). Then any BOB-only plugins could go below the BOB entry.

Thanks!

Rather than create a separate category, I renamed the web publishing category to "Publishing and hosting TiddlyWikis on the web / on servers" and added Bob and TiddlyServer. Node.js has its own category.

David, that doesn't look quite right. I use Bob purely locally at the moment to build wiki. I think Mark S.' category was better . He's neutral about hosting and posting, As it should be since Bob is  several things. It can be Local server. It can be a Web Server. It can "communicate" between wiki ....I understand the problem if you not used it, but I think its worth trying to say what it is--which is not that easy, TBH.

Hi Josiah and Mark

Sounds good to me. I made two categories

Servers, using TiddlyWiki with

Web hosting and publishing, using TiddlyWiki with

And Bob is in both.
