This is AWESOME! My biggest annoyance with TiddlyWiki has been the ergonomics of saving. I've been using TiddlyDesktop, but that thing has some questionable privacy because it's based on Chromium. One time, I had it running in the background while working on something completely unrelated, and I got a Chrome-style popup/alert warning me about a network printer being disconnected. I didn't even have Chrome installed on my machine at the time and it took me a while to realize that it came from TiddlyDesktop. But besides the privacy issues, TiddlyDesktop only serves local wikis. That's annoying when you have multiple devices. Also, pro-tip if you're on Ubuntu: the latest golang version in the default repos isn't compatible with this. You'll need to use golang 1.16 or later, which can be installed manually from the website, or installed via apt with a custom PPA (https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Ubuntu https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Ubuntu)

I find the TiddlyDesktop to be too heavy for what can be done in the browser itself. Have you tried using Timmi [0] with your browser [1, 2]? I had problems initially with the file save workflow till I found Timmi. I use it with Firefox and sync with Dropbox. It hasn't failed me and works smoothly. >> Timimi is a web-extension accompanied by a native host that allows you to save and backup your standalone HTML tiddlywiki files anywhere in your hard-drive. Once installed, you can save the tiddlywiki files without any extra steps, like the original Tiddlyfox addon. Timimi also provides users with 4 backup strategies, viz: - Create a backup Every nth save - Create a backup every nth minute - Customised Tower of Hanoi - First in First Out [3] << [0] https://ibnishak.github.io/Timimi/ https://ibnishak.github.io/Timimi/ [1] Chrome/Edge/Brave: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/timimi/mnggafnmmhdoplbffagjihajeeikgbcg https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/timimi/mnggafnmmhd...

I think my server at https://tiddly.fiatjaf.com https://tiddly.fiatjaf.com still works. You can just open it and start creating your tiddlywiki with auto-save (it will be saved on localStorage by default).

  That's the first I've heard about remotestorage.io, and it looks interesting. I'll definitely be looking into that, thanks!

I was about to give up PD: Couldn't install it either with the new binaries: "package embed: unrecognized import path "embed" (import path does not begin with hostname)" I think they should revisit this issues if really want widespread adoption.

  Run `go version` to see if you're actually running the correct version of go. You need at least go 1.16. If it's not correct, try `command -v go` to see which go binary your shell is using. If it's not "/usr/bin/go", then your PATH probably points to another one. In that case, try running `/usr/bin/go` directly instead of just `go` (assuming you installed the PPA linked above). > I think they should revisit this issues if really want widespread adoption. This isn't the project's fault. It requires a particular version of go, but you have the wrong version on your computer.
