Alfonso, Aha, the empty one does loads, so that's progress.... There's 
something about *some* of my particular tw5 files (I've tried a few, with 
mixed results) that droppages doesn't like... perhaps a plugin? 

Meanwhile, I still haven't found a good plain-old SAVE solution for working 
with TW files on my desktop (that doesn't initiate a download with every 
save, which is a firm no-go), so DropPages is still only half of a solution 
even for the files that it does serve up properly... 

Here's a summary of the research-setup-troubleshoot work I've done since 
tiddlyspot went down:

* TW5-dropbox: a fairly seamless EDIT-from-browser-anywhere solution (for 
files residing on dropbox), but without publishing.
* TiddlyDrive: a fairly seamless EDIT-from-browser-anywhere solution (for 
files residing on google drive), but without publishing.
* DropPages: a (partial) PUBLISH solution (for files residing in my 
dropbox, but somehow fails to render some tw5 files), but without seamless 
edits (and fixated on a Dropbox/Apps folder path distinct from 
tw5-dropbox's fixed Apps file path; otherwise they might be made to play 
together?)
* GitHub Saver: GitHub can PUBLISH and newer tw5 versions *should* save 
edits there, but in practice GitHub flashes me a 401 every time.
* Node.js via terminal: a powerful local-machine EDIT option saves nicely 
(even to dropbox directory), but which does not yet publish (beyond 
local-network-while-computer-is-on).
* Noteself: seems to save elegantly, but does a poor job of clarifying 
where the data lives. (I have lost noteself projects more than once.) Also 
doesn't publish to web.

So I'm still missing (in the wake of tiddlyspot) a single solution for 
seamless EDIT-HOST workflow.
