Hi! I'm having an interesting problem with my TW5 installation having to do 
with the use of multiple anonymous users and a single editing user. Whether 
logged in or using anonymously, when a user opens a Tiddly on their local 
web browser, it opens the same one in all other users' instances as well. 
This also happens when logged in as an editing user and editing; an 
anonymous user (read-only) will get an editable Tiddly opened in their 
browser, although any changes aren't saved permanently. 

I have TW5 on my little Linux server that I'm hosting some other node 
services on. It's configured to run on port 8080, whereas my other services 
occupy port 80. I've poked the appropriate port holes through my router and 
I can access the TW5 from anywhere with my IP (e.g., 
http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080). While testing I was on a computer on a home 
network 10 miles from the server. I've tested multiple computers on the 
same internal network accessing my remote TW5 server, all experience cross 
client requests. I also tested using my phone on the data network (not on 
the same IP or home network, WiFi off). Opening a Tiddly (or more) on the 
phone will also open on other computers.

The installation is vanilla with just the following start up parameters:
>> tiddlywiki World --listen port=8080 host=10.0.0.2 
credentials=worldUsers.csv anon-username="Adventurer" "readers=(anon)" 
writers=admin
The creds file (worldUsers.csv):
>>username,password
>>admin,pswrd


This issue baffled someone in the TW5 unofficial Discord, and they 
suggested I come here, but I still don't know if this is a configuration 
issue, installation issue, bug or working as designed. My idea is to have 
multiple people use it in a read-only fashion and have only one editing 
user, but if it's going disrupt one user having another user browse, maybe 
it's just not the right tool, which is too bad, because I love this tool.
