Probably not a coincidence - I have most likely been influenced by blog
posts of yours, and specifically remember reading about your fascination
with the individual tiddler rather than the whole TW. BTW how would you say
your TANK <https://tank.peermore.com/> project manifests this vision? (I am
not a member there).

On the surface Tank is mostly just trying to be a simple page-oriented
wiki but it has a few features (beyond those already provided by
straight TiddlyWeb) with which it tries to make the swarms of individual
and collections of tiddlers a bit more available:

* The auth model + full CORS support makes it fairly straightforward
  for other interfaces and web services to do CRUD operations on
  tiddlers. You can create named revokable keys which you can "give"
  to various applications or tools.

* There is a thing call the policy manager[1] which makes it easier to
  adjust the policy settings on individual bags so that you can easily
  say what users can do what actions on the bags. Support for recipes
  is pending.

* Tiddlers are easy to move between tanks.

* Compositions[2] make adding additional functionality (both simple[3]
  and complex[4]) a matter of putting the right things in the right
  place.

* Like tiddlyspace there are websocket notifications and atom feeds of
  most everything, so other systems can be easily made aware when
  stuff happens.

Properly functioning CORS support was a bit of a struggle to get
right, but it goes a very long way to making it possible to build
things _elsewhere_ that happen to use tiddlers that are kept in tank.

The features list is worth gazing at:
