 As far as I grasp it the best very GOOD routes to HIDING are ...

Ton -- http://tongerner.tiddlyspot.com/#Read-only

   and

stef -- https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/JeuinlhzMNU/pcQWJ9IFCQAJ (I 
think there is a later website for it ... just can't find it)

The issue in both cases is you apply the "hiding" before upload. It is not 
dynamically applied. They don't detect context. They don't know if they are 
on-web or off-line.

In the longer term, especially with growth of Android usage, may be to use 
Startup 
Actions <https://tiddlywiki.com/#StartupActions> that draw on info from the 
InfoMechanism <https://tiddlywiki.com/#InfoMechanism> and then dynamically 
apply a "Read Only"  HIDER. 

"Hiders" can work by either / or / and: switching OFF bits of CSS or by 
removing tags or whatever is needed. 

(Sidenote: FWIW the terminology here is confusing. Its NOT  really "Read 
Only", simply you want to "Hide" bits of the interface. Its confusing 
because the TW remains fully dynamic and anybody who has played with TW 
will know how to subvert restrictions. "Read Only" should be limited IMO to 
when there is no serious Javascript TW operating at all. Usually that means 
"Static" sites. Here we just mean "Hiding Some Dynamics". AKA --> A Noble 
Pursuit of Simplification For Readers <--)

HOW to do application of "Hider" dynamically on startup I'm not sure. But 
the mechanisms are there and I'm sure someone with skill will get into it 
yet.

Yours with CAPITAL notes :-)
