Feature Request: Offline integration with TiddlyWiki5

[justin-hurd]

Hi draw.o maintainers 👋😁

Just want to start by saying that drawio has been an incredible tool, easily in my top 3 as far as webapps go.

Speaking of webapps, I was wondering if it would be possible for a collaborative project to make draw.io work within an instance of TiddlyWiki5 without the need for internet connectivity?

I see draw.io has collaborated with several other applications, and thought, TiddlyWiki and draw.io would be a perfect combination!

Currently the community has created a plugin to integrate an online way of using drawio inside a tiddlywiki tiddler, but while we can save the graphics for offline viewing, online connection is required to make any edits...

I was wondering if it would be possible to take the webapp code and integrate it into a tiddlywiki plugin?

Unfortunately I am not a technical enough user to help with the javascript side of tiddlywiki plugins, but I can link to the current thread where discussions about draw.io in TiddlyWiki5 is happening!

👋 Thank you for opening this issue!

Summary: The user is requesting an official collaboration or guidance to integrate draw.io into TiddlyWiki5 as a plugin that works fully offline, noting that the current community plugin requires an internet connection for editing diagrams.

📝 Additional Information Needed

To help us investigate this more effectively, could you please provide:

• Are you aware that draw.io can be self-hosted and run entirely offline using the desktop version (https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop)? This could potentially be bundled or referenced by a TiddlyWiki plugin.
• Have you explored embedding the draw.io static build (available at https://github.com/jgraph/drawio) into TiddlyWiki's single-file architecture? The entire draw.io webapp source is available and can be served locally.
• Would it be acceptable to use the draw.io desktop app alongside TiddlyWiki (e.g., editing diagrams externally and embedding the resulting SVG/PNG), or is in-browser inline editing within TiddlyWiki a hard requirement?
• Has the TiddlyWiki community considered using draw.io's embed mode (https://www.drawio.com/blog/embedding-walkthrough) with a locally-served instance of draw.io to achieve offline editing?

Are you aware that draw.io can be self-hosted and run entirely offline using the desktop version

yes, but for instances where users can only work from their instancea of tiddlywiki, this could prove cumbersome or complex.
Some users are also restricted from installing or running standalone applications, making webapps the most suitable for their usecases.

Would it be acceptable to use the draw.io desktop app alongside TiddlyWiki...

I believe this is what has been used for the current plugin? Sttot, creator of the current plugin, would have more information on its current implementation via the referenced discourse forum link in my initial feature request.

Has the TiddlyWiki community considered using draw.io's embed mode

I will take a look at this but I do not know at this time
