And thank you! I think its an excellent approach. Especially if it could be made "portable" (see below). If this could work in a way the user can just "install it and start working" it opens a lot of possibilities. For instance, if portable, one could wrap it with a specific TiddlyWiki application so that a user gets a whole "package". They would have flexibility if they needed it, but at the start they could just start using without complications on saving, backup, platform concerns etc. Jed wrote: A portable app version sounds like a good idea.

As far as I understand it to make an application portable requires mainly that its settings only ever use relative addressing. PortableApps.com apps have a slightly more stringent approach that requires things like a working cache to also be relatively addressed (as opposed, say, to allowing the OS' designated area for User temp files). Its worth noting that PortableApps menuing system (directly supported only in Windows, though is Wine compliant) can run any program. In my own case I run many applications that are "portable enough" through it (i.e. make no changes to registry but do use some OS' determined locations for temporary files).
