Thanks all for the discussion. I'm struggling through trying to replace Tiddlyspot functionality... Spent some time figuring out the github thing - did finally get it to save (sporadically anyways - frequent 409s). I didn't do the "pages" part as that was a paid upgrade. So is my understanding right:
Without the paid "pages" part, I can setup a file that will indeed push up to github, but it then doesn't appear to save the file locally - so it's one or the other? For each "session" I'd have to download from github, work and save, then discard the local version and start again next session? Seems like a rough workflow... If I paid for the "pages" part - would it then more work like TiddlySpot where I wouldn't need the local file, and I could use the actual online url from any computer?
