[kookma]

Hi Jeremy,

I follow your work on publishing framework branch! Is there ay plan to have a release for testing purpose any time soon?
Furthermore is there any room for comments, feature request?

@kookma I suspect it would be extremely helpful if we checked out that branch, tested it and provided feedback. I have been meaning to but have not found the time for it thus far.

Good point. We don't currently have continuous integration setup to publish branches, but I'll figure out a way to deploy a test build somewhere else, perhaps TiddlyHost.

I've uploaded a preview here:

https://tiddlywiki-pr-5559.tiddlyhost.com

Click the publish button in the sidebar to make an 18.5MB static site build and download it as a zip file.

Lovely! Many thanks Jeremy!
Should we send comments, feature request here in discussion forum?

The index.html in the ZIP file is a fully working TW.

There is no static.html as a starting point in the "root" dir. .. So where is the "starting point"?

Hopefully you can see what's going on by looking at the sitemap. The one that's included just saves every non-system wikitext tiddler as a separate HTML file. At this point it's just reusing existing templates in the core. Extending it beyond that is hopefully just a matter of applying what you already know about static site generation on TiddlyWiki. This is a PRERELEASE, and is not complete. The things to focus on are the things that are new, which are hopefully all listed in the PR.
