I would like to see Tiddly Desktop evolve into a standalone program running in many environments. Windows/RT, Linux/Android, Mac/iOS, Blackberry too, if you can swing it.
My use case: I use my Tiddlywiki mostly for a recipe book nowadays, but I have a separate wiki that I use for 3D model design and making notes on game ideas. I have collected images of objects I want to derive for my designs. My wikis are in the root of my hard drive so I can use relative addressing to add images into a tiddler and then add notes to the tiddler. While AndTidWiki is useful for Android, it only really works with TWC (don't know how I managed to get TW5 working) and only with a wiki in the App's directory. I would like to be able to have a wiki on my phone in root. I would also like the option to use a Windows Phone/Tablet or Blackberry. Maybe snipping/clipping and remote backup function too? May not sound like much, but it looks like a lot of back-end work to this layman.
