Hello,

I would you like to know that the website https://www.topydo.org/ is not available.

Cheers,

Henk

It has been moved, as follows:
https://cdn.rawgit.com/bram85/topydo/master/doc/Documentation.html
On my setup, the redirection is automatic.

[jbrodriguez]

Can anyone edit README.md to point to the new address ?

It doesn't redirect in my case.

[maxrodrigo]

The link in the repo description should be update too.

[sebastiaanspeck]

I'll fix it now

[jbrodriguez]

A heads up ... rawgit is shutting down.

News at https://rawgit.com/

[sebastiaanspeck]

@bram85 maybe it is an option to switch to GitHub Pages instead

[valvin1]

issue is still present old link is present in README.md and project descrption.

[bram85]

I'm in the process of trying to set up Github pages.

In the meantime, if people like are trying to find the doc, there is an archive version here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20180831061945/https://cdn.rawgit.com/bram85/topydo/master/doc/Documentation.html

@bacardi55 , this is good news and thanks for posting.
I note this is available courtesy of the WayBack Machine. I wonder, how long this will remain available, since it's not under the direct control of the topydo developers?
Will this site keep the archive available indefinitely? If that's not a sure thing, then it seems it's time for topydo users to download the documentation, onto local storage.
Can @bram85 post a currently-active link for that?

[RonCam]

Well, it's resolved, and many thanks to @bacardi55 for posting the link, because I now have a copy of the documentation on a flash drive. I do feel better, knowing I'm OK -- while waiting for the proposed online documentation relocation to materialize.
For other topydo users who are 'in the same boat' as I was, here's what I did:

1. Open the Waybackmachine link, as was kindly provided by @bacardi55 .
2. Remove the Waybackmachine banner (may or may not be a necessary step)..
3. Click the Tools tab, then activate the [x] on Save Changes.
4. Click on the Open tab. Note, Save Changes is now visible on this page's menu as a red-circled check-mark.
5. Click on that check-mark, and this is after the Open tag has been selected. Otherwise, your copy will open with Tools selected.
6. Save in Static HTML format. In the save file dialog, the html file will have the name of Documentation.
7. If it saves in a different format, you may have to make a selection in Export All, first.
8. Save to whatever location you wish -- pick the local storage location of your choice.
9. In your file manager, select the Documentation file you just saved.
10. Right-click to get Context Menu, and then Open with -- select browser of your choice.
11. Hit Enter and wait a bit, for the topydo documentation's Welcome page to appear.

If Save Changes doesn't work, you may have to do an Export first. I think there's a bug here because it's non-intuitive. If not sure, save more than once, then use whichever file has the larger file-size.

Now, it's no longer necessary to be online to read the documentation. It's only 2.3Mb -- thought it would be far larger. It's time-stamped the 30th of January 2018 at 12:10pm.

Hey @RonCam there's a much easier way. Simply download https://github.com/bram85/topydo/raw/master/docs/index.html and double-click.

Or, put it in a folder and python3 -m http.server -d FOLDER.

[RonCam]

Hi @rnkn !
Good job, and yes, that was far fewer steps. I used the first method in your post.
I wanted to follow your directions and see github's copy because I wasn't sure if the Waybackmachine was displaying the latest (or, perhaps I should say, the final?) version.
Both are time-stamped identically: 30th January 2018 at 12:10pm. So now, no more angst over being in the middle of a topydo session, having to check something in the ducumentation, and not being able to do it!

[RonCam]

Having a local copy of the documentation is working well, with advantages of its own. If I am having difficulty with remembering a certain point (Dependencies, as an example).
I am finding that a minor rewording, or restating, can now be inserted into the documentation and saved for my future reference. This, of course, is not possible when accessing the documentation on-line.

[adityabhaskar]

For reference, I hosted a copy of the documentation till the original comes up... https://c306.net/t/topydo-docs/
