TW on iPad

[Eric Weir]

I've just bought an iPad. I gather that TW can be run on it, though I have not followed discussion related to it here. Pointers, either about how to do it or to documentation regarding same.

Thanks,

TWMobile in the app store will run a tiddlywiki just fine, and let you save it to dropbox.

The current release (2.2) has a problem but the author has a temporary fix while apple reviews 2.3...

Thanks, Richard. Do you have any idea whether I could load my configuration onto it?

What's your "configuration"?

I've run several tiddlywikis with it - one I used for my course website with my notes and all for each week, one that hold all my tasks and projects, and one I use to take notes about my advisees with. I used to back it up to tiddlyspot without a problem, but like dropbox now. The only plugin I've had a problem with is EasyEdit, but I think that could be an ipad issue. Reminder plugins, calendar ones, foreachtiddler, Udo's search plugin... even Eric's plugin that lets you embed pictures (of my advisees) in the tiddlywiki all work fine in twmobile.

Rich, Eric,

Just picking up on the dialog here. Thanks Rich.

TWEdit and TWMobile are at version 2.2.3 - and the referenced 2.2.2 problem was fixed with that release. I recommend TWEdit over TWMobile as TWEdit runs on both  iPad and iPhone (the original iPad only app was called TWMobile but someone snagged that name in App Store before I got the iPhone version out - and so I had to create TWEdit as the app for both platforms - they run the same code base and I keep TWMobile going really only for those folks who bought it ahead of TWEdit). 

Version 2.3 is in test with a new file manager and full file system sync to dropbox, plus one or two other bits and pieces. Will get that out the door soon - or as soon as I feel 100% comfortable with it.

Hope this helps - Chris.

Chris,

Great app - and looking forward to the full file system sync to dropbox in the next version.

My apologies for taking so long to respond. Tied down with work. And trying to get my iPad and MacBook communicating effectively.

My configuration is a tweak of TWT-Blackicity. <http://twt-blackicity.tiddlyspot.com/> I find the combination of timelines, tagging, and Treeview to be extremely powerful for my purposes. I've been using my tweak for so long I don't remember what changes I made to it.

One I definitely do remember is TagglyTagging. With it and the three features mentioned previously I'm able to organize---and reorganize on the fly---large collections of text notes. I can start working with only a vague idea of my structure and allow the structure to evolve in the course of the work. Again, very powerful.

Sounds like you also have found like yoiu've taken full advantage of TWs versatility. I'm looking forward to see what I can do with it on the iPad.

Thanks for your response.

Sincerely,

My apologies for the delay in responding, Chris. Just haven't had time to get back to the responses to my query. 

I'll be checking out TWEdit in the next couple days. Between the above and the description on the app store I'm unclear whether Dropbox syncing is available with the current version. 

Over the past couple years I've become a devote of Vim. Before acquiring an iPad I used it for all my writing. Unfortunately the only port of Vim for the iPad is pretty crippled. So I'm looking forward to seeing if TW can take its place until a workable version shows up. [I hope one will. Unfortunately, I'm incapable of helping. Wish it were otherwise.]

Thanks,

My regular TW is running in TWEdit without modification. The only problem is that fonts are very small for touch actuation of commands.

Looks like I'm gonna have to modify my standard TW to make it usable on the iPad. Increasing font size might do the trick. 

It's been so long since I've done any customization that I'm a little vague about how to do that. It will come. Wondering in particular if I can do that across the board with a simple change or if changes will have to be made in many places. 

StyleSheetShortcuts looks like it might be the place. Or is there somewhere else?

Thanks,
