- dbmikus 6y agoI use the npm package and run it as a local server. Works well.
- ahnick 6y agoIf you aren't tied strictly to using pure TiddlyWiki you may be interested in NoteSelf(https://noteself.org/ https://noteself.org/), which uses the browser's LocalStorage via PouchDB. Bonus, this can then be synchronized to any remote couchdb server.
- porpoise 6y agoThis came out a while ago and I remember thinking it'd make the single file approach to TiddlyWiki effectively frictionless if you are Chrome user ... https://web.dev/file-system-access/ https://web.dev/file-system-access/
- zachwill 6y agoI've found setting up the Git integration to be the best way: https://tiddlywiki.com/static/Saving%2520to%2520a%2520Git%2520service.html https://tiddlywiki.com/static/Saving%2520to%2520a%2520Git%25...
- gpanders 6y agoI tried this but found it kind of confusing. How do you actually edit your wiki? As far as I can tell, when I make changes the wiki "saves" by making a new commit and pushing it to GitHub, but it doesn't modify the file itself. Meaning in order to update my local copy, I have to manually pull the changes down from GitHub every time. This seemed extremely awkward to me and I'm sure I'm missing something or doing something wrong
- zachwill 6y ago1. It is confusing. I agree with you there. 2. Nope, the file is modified itself. 3. One thing that the documentation does a poor job of: all fields need to be filled out for GitHub integration. 4. Here's my settings in TiddlyWiki: https://i.imgur.com/MqbO28t.png https://i.imgur.com/MqbO28t.png
