#tiddlywiki

1 post1 participant0 posts today

I have created a starter edition #TiddlyWiki for building digital gardens and personal knowledge management systems. It is based on the design and functionality of own my digital garden.

If this might be useful or interesting to you let me know in the comments.

Ups and downs: #TiddlyWiki released a new version right on schedule, and it's looking real good (on my birthday again: always a nice gift). But the Classic edition hasn't given signs of life in more than half a year. Hopefully just a break.

I have a few schematics I use on interviews to see if people can troubleshoot. Twenty years ago, people could. Nobody can now. Nobody teaches electronics for technicians. Engineers, yes. Technicians, no.

So I'm rewriting the test and changing it into training. I'm doing all the work in my private wiki and have found "reveal-js" is perfect for interactive training!

Just in case you ever need something like that 🤔.

I figured out how to use TiddlyWiki as an alternative to iPhoto/Bridge/etc and spin up a gallery from a directory of images.

So far it seems very performant. I'm pretty excited about this, as I haven't been able to quickly overview the thousands and thousands of photos I've amassed over the years.

The subtitle icons themselves function as buttons, which re-direct to a note that is generated via a template containing a geomap widget, and the coordinates as the note title, stored when either of the two ViewToolbar buttons is pressed.

Now the subtitle—in addition to showing the timestamps—contains a location pin icon for the origin GPS coordinates, and a globe icon for the last modified version GPS coordinates.

These are set manually, just to keep things more intentional and optimized, via two new ViewToolbar buttons: fetch current coordinates (for the most recent coordinates) … and set created coordinates, which will populate fields for a tiddler's origin coords.

after meeting up with and chatting with @liaizon about geotagging and note-taking … I've come up with a nice way to integrate geotags into my #TiddlyWiki

Thanks to @Jermolene GeoSpatial plugin, I was able to create some metadata GUI elements which reveal a note's origin GPS coordinates, and its latest revisions GPS coordinates, by modifying the subtitle shadow tiddler.

based off of a similar solution by Charlie_Veniot, I have solved one of the long-standing friction points with adding images to my digital garden in TiddlyWiki.

This image importer will accept drag/drop links of image files (via the filesystem viewed in a webbrowser i.e. file:///Users/myPath/…) plus being able to quickly designate them into specific system directories via checkbox, or just supply the custom path directly

TiddlyWiki seems like the perfect tool, the most capable system for realizing the hypothetical Arcades project of Walter Benjamin, the sprawling, non-linear hyperobject he spent decades assembling, spanning thousands of pages of cryptic and disparate notes and errata.

Commenting on this post will federate and also display on my digital garden built in #TiddlyWiki

I have implemented a WebComponent that makes it so tootIds attached as fields to tiddlers will pull in the respective replies. It's quite neat. (also reminding myself that @liaizon suggested I make a write up on this process in case others are interested).

This was a reply to an ARS article that was mainly about Glide. You only get one free app on Glide. It costs $600/year to get 3 apps. Ouch.

When I was attempting to build a general purpose #TiddlyWiki (TW) Android container app, it occurred to me that it should be possible to create a kit that would allow anyone to convert their own favourite TW instance into a full Android app. They could then register it and send it off to the Playstore if they wanted.

Crashing on a desktop browser is unusual. Just set your #TiddlyWiki (TW) to auto-save and you don't have to worry about losing data.

When you close the browser, TW throws up a screen asking if you want to save.

For TW on a device, I use a couple browser storage plugins. So even if the browser closes, my data re-appears on loading.

Basically you're saying you can make a backup with Obsidian. Well, you can make a backup with TW too.
