My first goal was to setup a mechanism to allow viewers of a published TiddlyWiki (well, a TiddlyWiki instance located on some website for viewing) to personalize the appearance of a TiddlyWiki and saving those configuration settings to local storage, such that a viewer's preferences are applied on every visit to the TiddlyWiki instance.
Proof-of-concept prototype working: A tester: Saving TiddlyWiki config settings to local storage <https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/l-1YLy0xpJo> I was thinking about adding add a few more configuration items that can be saved to local storage. "Sexier" configuration items. But, unless there is interest in that, I believe I'm going to move on to an intriguing proposition: A TiddlyWiki instance with a BASIC Anywhere Machine program that compares two specified TiddlyWiki instances, comparing existence of corresponding tiddlers in both TiddlyWiki sources, and also comparing modifications dates of tiddlers. A job involving session storage. Well, if anybody already knows of something out there that does a tiddler-by-tiddler comparison of two TiddlyWiki instances, let me know.
