This is very neat, Jeremy! And an interesting avenue for lowering barriers to entry.
One thing I'd warn people about is that (for me, anyway) there's some slightly confusing behaviour at the moment: * new wikis only show up in the filesystem browser on the app page after a refresh of the app page * new wikis only show up in the filesystem browser once they've been saved (checkmark button) * if I create a new wiki, change it, save it, and accidentally hit "back" on my browser (which I did the first time I tried the app, by hitting my trackpad wrong), there's a blank white screen. Hit forward, and I get the wiki without my changes. Wait a few seconds and reload, and my changes appear. When I tried all this at first, I thought I wasn't creating wikis and that I was losing my changes. Neither of those things was true. The other thing that confused me at first is that Fission is storing their stuff in local storage in the browser -- when you authorise Fission to store data there, it's not just an authentication key, it seems to be all the data for the account. This means that the new wikis belong to the app (though I haven't checked out the export possibilities) and you won't find them on your computer filesystem.
