I bricked my TiddlyWiki, how do I resort to the last working copy?

That's very easy: open the app menu and choose Restore. A list of backup copies will appear, each backup file has the timestamp of its creation in the filename. Tap on the copy you want to use to restore. Then, tap the Save button in the top menu and it will be your production TiddlyWiki.

How can I import Tiddlers of my Tiddlywiki?

There are various ways to do it. You can use the ImportTiddlers plugin in TiddlyWiki (reachable via Menu => Commands => ImportTiddlers) and import from a remote URL whatever you need. Or, download the itw.html TiddlyWiki file to your desktop, open it in your browser and add the Tiddlers you need from there. After saving and uploading to your phone you'll have your stuff right there.

Will TiddlyWiki for webOS support advanced features like GTD ever?

Depends. It will not be delivered with pre-installed GTD plugins of any kind ever. It would become too large (thus slow) and GTD doesn't just fit to the webOS screen dimensions. However, you may add this to your wiki yourself, there are lots of resources on the web (look for "Monkey GTD" for example). But be warned: you may have to invest a considerable amount of effort to modify it so that it fits to webOS. If you ever made it, feel free to drop me a message, so I can consider to add it to the distribution.

Sounds like a lot of work - how can I help?

Indeed! You may consider to donate to the developer (me!): Donate via PayPal.

It doesn't work, I need help!
