@TW Tones, the method I employed is actually quite simple, it's powered by
a repository in my Github, using Github pages. I figured that this meant it
had to call the index.html (the html file holding tiddlyWiki) file to
display my tiddlyWiki. However, I took this a few steps further by making
it sync back to that same github index.html file. Basically, this means
that it places a call through the Github API, which is modified every time
the users save it. Lastly, my most buggy area, (which you have seen) is
making it work cross-platform. I happened to stumble upon the localStorage
value for the Github PAT while digging through the console values to figure
out a simple error, and realized that I could just add a
localStorage.setItem call to add the value to any computer that opens the
page, meaning they have the same functionality as me. Of course, this means
that the application is not so secure, as anyone can grab the Github PAT
from the console with one line of javascript, but I have a few methods in
place to prevent/protect myself in the case that this happens.
