Speaking of Tiddlyhost, you can try a prerelease version of TiddlyWiki 5.2.0 there now.
Do that by clicking "Advanced Options" when creating a site (at https://tiddlyhost.com/sites/new ) to access the empty version selector. -Simon Ps, it is a little confusing that the default empty file on Tiddlyhost is also an older pre-release version. There is a reason for it - Tiddlyhost doesn't work smoothly with the official 5.1.23 version of TW, so it's been using a pre-release build all along. As soon as there's an official 5.2.0 release, I'll likely change it so Tiddlyhost uses that as the default empty.
