What are /r/TiddlyWiki5's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I downloaded this font and did exactly as the instruction says, and it works.

Here are what I've done:

1. download the font named bell_mtbold;
2. open the link https://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator ;
3. select `upload fonts` and uploaded the font file(.tff);
4. select EXPERT... and choose `Base64 Encode`, checked agreement and hit `download your kit`;
5. open the zip file and open the stylesheet.css;
6. copy all the content and paste in a new tiddler in your tiddlywiki, rename it to bell_mtbold(name it as you want, it doesn't matter);
7. add a tag `$:/tags/Stylesheet` to this tiddler;
8. choose the tiddler type `text/plain`;
9. save this tiddler and reload the wiki;
10. open control panel - Appearance - Theme Tweaks like I said above, and add a `bell_mtbold`(like your tiddler name just added or add single quotation marks if there are spaces) to the start of the content (like `bell_mtbold, system-ui, -apple-system, ...`);
11. you will see your wiki changes the font immediately.

Hope this will help. Enjoy your journal in the brilliant TiddlyWiki!

I tried using TW Todolist which works nicely.

But eventually i moved to a dedicated app: Vikunja which does all the things i need.

Combining todos and notes in TW just didn't work out for me. Better have one tool for every task and slam a dashboard like Homer in front of it.

So, I didn't exactly find a "solution," but I did find the reason for the issue and a workaround. Apparently TiddlyWiki gets unhappy when you have ~300 mb of image tiddlers. I resolved it by moving those out of the wiki proper, making them accessible from a local server (I used Fenix for this - super easy), and including them as external images (i.e., something like [img width=500 [http://127.0.0.1/Images/Sample.png]]).

I am happy that it worked for you and that I did answer an unasked question! I use viewTemplates (even edit templates too) a lot and like it very much.

Also as a side note to add.. you can have 1 template like... "DetailsTemplate" which can work for more than 1 tag.. Like this...

<$list filter="[all[current]tag[Contact]]"> <a href={{{ [all[current]addprefix[https://contacts.google.com/search/]encodeuri[]] }}} >Google Contacts: <<currentTiddler>></a> </$list>

<$list filter="[all[current]tag[Place]]">

!!! Google Map: <<currentTiddler>> <iframe allow src={{{ [all[current]addprefix[https://www.google.com/maps/place/]encodeuri[]] }}} width=100% height=300px /> </$list>

Note: though this example requires that you disable the protection against mixed content in browser

Hi Geert!

Macros accept variables that are set outside the macro definition. Using the wikifywigdet we can pretransclude the title

So a macro would like this:

\define googlesearch(value) https://contacts.google.com/search/$value$ \end

<$wikify name="myTitle" text={{!!title}}> <<googlesearch $(myTitle)$>>

</$wikify>

Re #3, the problem is that users develop those 3rd party plugins, and thus they are spread over the net. It was suggested that someone could combine them into one central snapshot repository, and all heck issued forth. To do it politely, you would have to get permission from dozens, possibly hundreds of authors, for which some of whom you have no contact information. Even though the code is technically open source, a lot of people have very proprietary feelings about their code. If it wasn't for this political angle, this is something I would probably be pursuing. The community had a reminder recently how tenuous the current situation is when the tiddlyspot server went down.

The closest thing to a repository is the listing Tiddlywiki toolmap. It's pretty well maintained.

In general, plugins will continue to be as secure as the browser allows them. That is, TW is just a javascript web page, and the browser won't let it do anything too seriously dangerous. TW has been very robust in terms of backwards compatibility. People are still using plugins from 5 years ago.

The only way to know if your version of TW is behind is to check TiddlyWiki.com. Mostly this only matters if you're looking for new features, or compatibility with a new plugin.

TiddlyDesktop (https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyDesktop) will do this by default. It creates a separate copy of the wiki prior to saving as a safeguard against corruption. I usually find I have to clean it out every so often to reclaim some disk space.

Well, there's habito which I found by searching the tiddlywiki toolmap .

If that doesn't do it for you, perhaps you could describe in more detail what you want to track, how it would work, etc.

Thanks! I was doing some work in Obsidian.md but when I found the tiddlywiki and more specifically Tiddilyroam as much as I was really enjoying obsidian this is way more in the wheelhouse of of functionality for what I am looking to use it for. Figured there might be some kinks to work out but it was kinda going to be that way with anything I was going to use for it because I had something very specific in mind. But this is like 98% perfect for me for what I can do with it I'm happy to learn and do the extra leg work.
