Build Me It - Volume I: TiddlyWiki + Google Gears

June 9, 2007 · 3 Comments

Build Me It

A version of TiddlyWiki that uses Google Gears for data storage.

Why

TiddlyWiki IMO has been for the recent past the killer offline app. It’s a brower-based wiki that uses amazing Javascript skills to power itself completely client-side. The entire application is a single HTML file that you can save to your machine and access through a browser. The only drawback is that data is stored in the same file as the application, so as your wiki grows, so does your file. Google Gears could be used as the data persistence layer as a solution.

Hint

TiddlyWiki has a new and improved persistence and synchronization interface, so this should be easy. Right? Right??
