Alternative non-networked reference document being built


Pathfinder Second Edition General Discussion


Recently I learned about a nifty tool called TiddlyWiki which builds local single-file wikis with database features.

I wondered about using this to create a PF2 reference document that could not only act as a traditional AoN style reference but also deal with some automatic reference resolution and indexing, and it turns out it works great.

You can see the development here https://github.com/hyphz/PF2TiddlyWiki/ or the preview version here https://github.com/hyphz/PF2TiddlyWiki/releases/tag/Preview . Currently I have most of the general feats, but only the Alchemist class and a subsection of spells.

The built version is just an .html file and never needs the Internet again once it is loaded, so you can save it out to your hard disk, grab it on your iPhone or Android or whatever else you have as long as it can run JavaScript.

Is this an interesting thing to continue developing and is anyone interested in helping transcribe? (Because I'm trying to also break up the text blocks and link intelligently, simply scraping AoN doesn't provide content alone without inspecting it as well.)


Be sure you have met all the conditions of the Community Use rules.

AoN is a licensed Paizo partner, and can use a lot of Paizo's intellectual property in ways that you cannot.


I have been keeping an eye on that, so I'm mostly focussing on OGC.
