Status Development of TiddlyDesktop?

[Ed]

Hi Jeremy,

Since I started using TiddlyDesktop because of my problems with TiddlyFox,
I wondered if you were going to develop TiddlyDesktop any further any time (soon)?
What I would wish for, not knowing how difficult that could be, that everything happened
in one window with tabs like in a browser.
But you probably have to much on your plate already, I fear.
Anyway share what's on you mind now as far as TiddlyDesktop is concerned.
Many Thanks in advance!
Cheers! Ed.

From what I remember TiddlyDesktop has been discontinued. The plan was to make something that could be used as a simple wrapper around nodejs for tiddlywiki.

I am not sure if Jeremy was directly involved but Matthew Lauber made tiddlyserver which does this and has worked very well for me.

Re TiddlyServer.  I wrote that after reading what Jeremy said he wanted to make, but he wasn't directly involved (except in answering all my questions, Thanks Jeremy!).  I'd love to continue to improve on it, but I haven't had a lot of time to devote to it.  If you run into any problems, feel free to create a ticket on https://github.com/mklauber/TiddlyServer/issues

Hi Jed

Many thanks to the America-in-Paris (still there?) for pointing me in a new direction.
Going to try Matthews TiddlyServer; but the DeskTop is not wrong it helped me continue
working as the TiddlyFox prob is not solved yet; at my computers that is.

Cordialement, Ed.

I don’t have any immediate plans for further work on TiddlyDesktop. Most of the feature requests have been for features that make it a better browser, adding things like spell check that are common across standard browsers. I’m on a hiding to nothing trying to turn the raw nw.js project into a browser that can rival Chrome or Firefox. Instead, I want to focus my efforts on adding an optional standard GUI to TiddlyWiki 5 when run under Node (along the lines Matthew Lauber has been exploring) that makes it easier to get it up and running but ultimately works with the users own chosen browser.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy,

Man, I AM grateful that you take the time to explain things to me. Of course building a sort of competitor
to FireFox and the like is not a thing you want. (BTW, features like spell checking I really could do without.)

But if you and/or Matthew come up with a great GIU that would be fine! If one has to use the cumbersome
way to save a TW5 it just hampers the real work.

Certainly I am since this afternoon in a sort of pickle, as starting up the computer in the afternoon it started to
download updates and when finished TiddlyDesktop did not want to start. In the morning it been working fine
like on my computer at home. So this really was a let down. The database I work on has only limited ways of
commenting on the work done or to be done, I have only one field for comments that you can not enlarge;
height not even two centimeters. Absolutely useless.

So keep up the good work, Jeremy, from all the programs I tried, TiddlyWiki is the most flexible and useful one.
(On the Mac there is VoodooPad that I also used to use and was a great program, but only on the Mac.)

Cheers! Ed.

UPDATE
I am out of the pickle now thanks to the solution you provided
Revert to "Remember History" thingy! Joy!
