To help explain things a little further, I developed two templates
based on the TiddlyWiki source code for displaying hypertext stories.
One is called Sugarcane, the other Jonah. These only have the relevant
parts of the TW API included, are designed to be used in a read-only
mode, and have some extra macros to help authors. It sounds like it
would be relatively easy to use exportTiddlersPlugin to transform a
regular TiddlyWiki into Sugarcane or Jonah format.

The other part of the setup is a GUI desktop app named Twine that
manipulates linked nodes and can save output to Sugarcane, Jonah, or
regular TiddlyWiki format. It displays a story file as a map, so you
can see the structure of the story graphically. It's not really a
general-purpose tool, though it could be used as such in theory. I
think Måns is talking about the possibility of porting the app, which
is written in Python and uses a cross-platform GUI library, to a pure
JavaScript solution using TiddlyWiki macros. On that score, I don't
know how feasible this idea is. It strikes me as requiring a lot of
work, though, and given that Twine's already cross-platform I don't
see a ton of benefit in it.

That said -- Twine is open source (as are Sugarcane and Jonah) and I'd
be happy to offer whatever advice/guidance I can to anyone interested
in porting it.
