Congratulations: TW5 is almost 6K stars in Github

[Mohamed Amin]

Hello All,

I just noted that TW5 is almost 6K stars in Github, 

when I met TW5 at the end of 2019 it was 4K+, this really say a lot about this fantastic piece of work.

So, thanks to Jeremy and all the contributors to TW5 and thanks also to this wonderful community.

Check it in Stars History

Best Regards

[Mohammad Rahmani]

Better than before!

I am curious to know why TW has not got 1MM stars? It has been  around since 2004. What is the problem?

Best wishes

Mohammad

Right! Good question to ask!

The answer will, probably, be several things.

One, just one, ... in GitHub terms TW is half-way between a "full application" & a "code-base" to make applications.

The sheer richness and flexibility of TW I DO actually think lowers its uptake/stars.

Because its not clean enough for code purists and its slightly intimidating for impure end users.

This post of mine is a JOKE! But I think what I'm saying there has a decent grain of truth in it.

I think what Jeremy started, and still sustains, actually "cuts categories".

It is, in practice, BOTH a developer's environment AND and one for end-users.

Best wishes

Hi TT,

 You well know why I asked that question! I see a simple JS library has got ten thousands stars!

 So I am jealous to see the lovely TW has got only 6000 stars!

Sorry to say this, but one other BIG reason is many just use it and do not care to support it!

Best wishes

Mohammad

Right! That is a common issue for open-source tools.

TiddlyWiki is very unusual, I think, in having an exceptional, friendly, dedicated following of "user-hackers" (i.e. NOT developers in the narrow sense; it really embraces amateur page-makers) that help develop it.

You ever noticed that there are virtually no NAIVE final-end users of TW completed apps on the GG or GitHub?

The point, in a way, is to CREATE an end-web-page (by user-hacker) and move on. 

The downside is that at the point of publishing the origin of the page from TW will DISAPPEAR.

At the MOMENT there is simply NO way, no Google search, that can identify all the TiddlyWikis in the "wild." 

It is likely huge. We just don't know. 

It is making knowing how widely it is REALLY used very difficult.

That is partly by design as TW core eschews any hard-coded traceability at the moment.

Just some comments!

TT

Agree!
