Hi Daniel, I'll try to answer what I've found out meanwhile, but please remember I'm just a user (over seven years now), and by no means a programmer.

IMHO there is a need for a very simple module you can deploy on your own domain to host TWs. I know there exist (or existed) some solutions but they were not what I would call simple. If you only need to consult your TWs you can simply put them in the Public folder of DropBox. They're read only but otherwise fully functional. I tested this the other day with my cluster of 13 linked TWs. And of course they're up-to-date up until your last edit from another device. My problem with a chromebook is that (whenever I get one) I will be using it where there is no wireless connection. I'm almost certain you can access TW in read only mode from the SSD. What I don't know is whether you can synchronize the chromebook SSD with DropBox. I realize none of this meets your requirement to be able to modify your TWs with a chromebook and keep them synchronized over multiple devices. But I can't follow the conversation about / understand the plugin User-Agent > Switcher > <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher-for-c/djflhoibgkdhkhhcedjiklpkjnoahfmg>, > Will the plugin allow me to do simple saves - akin to tiddlyfox - with TWC > in ChromeOS (chromebook : where not .jar files can run) ? Not to my knowledge. As far as my limited understanding goes the User-Agent Switcher only shows you the pages "as if" rendered by another browser. Useful for testing css and html, but I don't think the full functionality is replicated. Myself, I need a cheap, light laptop with a half decent screen, a decent keyboard and about 8 hours autonomy on a full battery. To counter chromebooks, Microsoft is encouraging manufacturers to produce low-spec, low-cost notebooks, similar to chromebooks but running Windows 8.1. I'm looking into those, and I expect a few will turn up around the Holidays. (I would put a light Linux distribution like Lubuntu or Peppermint on it.) This would allow me to use Firefox for TW and Chrome for a few apps I like. Sorry, but I can't provide a better answer.
