I'm not a dev by any means so I probably can't help you much, but I think these links may help you :
In this thread, people have successfully managed to use tiddlywiki for book publishing, with great results : https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/_VLufc4Svp8/m/jALzYZ09BAAJ You can see a sample here : https://tw5.immateriel.fr/wiki/7switch/book/aHR0cHM6Ly9jYXRhbG9ndWUuaW1tYXRlcmllbC5mci9yZXNvdXJjZXMvYTYvMTIvMDcyMDhkOTdhZjdmYWZkMjkyNzRhN2MwNDU1YS5lcHVi or make your own book from an epub : https://tw5.immateriel.fr/wiki It's possible to use TW as a blog platform : https://tiddlywiki.com/static/Blog%2520Edition.html So it seems that it's possible. I'm guessing it will not be simple tho.. maybe wordpress would be easier.
