I would be OK with this.

I think this is problematic from a security perspective. In no way I want a 
link to import executable js code to my wiki.

I personally don't click shortened links. First of all I don't want that 
one more 3rd party, knows what I'm interested in. Second I don't want to be 
forwarded, to "fishing sites".

We already have the possibility to save to github. So it should be simple 
to write tiddlers to https://gist.github.com/ ... I think, there are 
several advantages. 

 - Everything is visible
 - No compressing or shortening is needed.
 - Automatic versioning
 - gists can be commented
 
We can use the existing tiddlers.json export format, that should be easy to 
import.

just some thoughts.
