Patrice,

You ask A serious question here, I hope others will help. First some quick 
points.

   - What ever solution the wiki needs to be hosted somewhere all your 
   required devices can access
      - Alternatively you could use a sync process 
   - Only Bob offers tiddler level locks out of the box ie multi-user/access
   - One trick is to install bob on your mobile device, (not too easy) 
   android can use termux to install it in
      - Then you connect your mobile to you local area network and access 
      it from your desktop browser as well. But it goes with you when you leave 
      home.
   - Unfortunately you should move to a node version if you are going to 
   include a lot of images or other media.
   - I am working on a method to allow login and logout or checkout and 
   check in on single file tiddlywikis, which could insist it is only editable 
   on one "device/browser at a time" where ever it is hosted.
   - I recently discovered w3schools free spaces allows you to host a 
   single file tiddlywiki on the internet which gives you a url that only 
   works if you are logged into spaces. It may do more than this.
   - If you have a standard hosting service, you can use tw-receiver with 
   php. There are various ways to use cloud storage, Google Drive and Dropbox.
   

Regards
Tones
