Hi Jed,
great to hear. My Provider finally supports Node so I wanted to try Bod
or Arlens Version for some time.
Do you have a demo running somewhere?
All my mechanisms (e.g. for uploads) work which php so I wonder if I
could combine these things somehow.
I very much appeciate your constant work for the project. Do yo have a
PayPal Tip Jar as well?
Best wishes and Guten Rutsch

Hello all,
The short version: I have a potential replacement for tiddlyspot that
could be distributed and self-hosted on something small like a digital
ocean droplet. My computer died and help getting a new one would
greatly speed up the development and release.
I think that a community managed public server is a good idea, and it
is designed so that you can create your own private server.
The long version:
I made a server that works with Bob and TiddlyWiki that adds a secure
token-based login that is appropriate for having a web-facing server.
I have been working on this periodically for a while, some of you may
have seen it when I had Ooktech.xyz up. I have been working on it
periodically for a long time and it is very close to ready for public
release.
The problem is that an adorable kitten decided that dancing on my
multiprise was a good idea and after some impressive sparks the
computer I do my development on is dead. The kitten is fine and acts
adorably innocent.
The server has all the features of Bob (multiple wikis, everything
configured from within the wiki itself, support for multiple
simultaneous users), as well as a secure login using JWT (json web
tokens). Accounts have granular permissions which can be set, there
many but here is a quick incomplete description of what you can do, in
no real order. Server administrators can enable or disable almost all
of these features if they are not useful for your purposes.
- A simple script to run that sets everything up
- Publicly viewable or private wikis
- Allow specific people to view or edit a wiki
- If an account owns a wiki they can set permissions on their own wikis
- optional quotas for accounts both in terms of number of wikis and
storage
- A plugin library built into the server
- Access controls for plugins as well (so plugins can be used to
distribute content
without making it public)
- Simple 1-click download for wikis as a single-file without Bob
- profiles/accounts and wikis can be set as private so on one can see them
- Create an account on the server from a wiki
- update passwords and other account information from inside a wiki
- accounts can have some 'about me' information, if they want to set it
- Set if an account can create wikis
- namespaces wikis (if I create a wiki called MyWiki it would be
inmysocks/MyWiki) so
that there are no naming conflicts
- change ownership of a wiki (give a wiki to someone else)
- inter-wiki federation, like chat and sharing tiddlers between wikis
There are many other details about administrator controls, but those
are I think the highlights for using the server. Almost all of that is
implemented, I am in the process of adding usable in-wiki interfaces
for all of it.
The setup script is only currently for linux and osx, I would need
someone who is familiar with windows to make that if anyone wants it.
Hosting online is generally linux so I am not sure how much it would
be needed.
My plan is to put up a demo site as soon as I can that has limited
life-time accounts to show the features. You could create an account
that lasts a day and after the account and wikis with it are removed.
I am not interested in hosting and running this myself, it would be a
community with community governance supported by donations. I do not
know the demands that would be put on it, but I don't think that the
hosting costs would be more than about $100/month.
I would of course continue updating the server, but maintenance and
operation must be a group effort so we don't get a situation like
tiddlyspot where we rely on two people who may not be active members
of the community and we have no way to shift ownership for continued
operation.
I don't know what interest there is in this, so I am going to gauge
that from the response to this post. Also, help with getting a
development computer would speed things up a lot.

ps:
There are a lot of future features that I am working on, like the
ability to search multiple wikis from one wiki, inter-server
federation so you can have your own private server and interact with
other servers, having a login on one server that lets you access wikis
on other servers, things like that.
