Hello, this is my first post. I am using TW for many years so far. Incredibly simple and useful.
Just a quick suggestion: how about considering (also) flattr, to help maintaining the project? I could not find a reference to that on the fund raising page (http://tiddlytools.github.io/fundraising.html), hence here is my suggestion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flattr http://flattr.com/ Thank you very much for such a great tool. Thanks a lot.
