Yes, this is something I've been itching to do ever since TiddlyWiki5 got
out of beta.

Creating apps that take advantage of native platform capabilities would be
phase 2, after shipping basic read-only TiddlyWiki publications. It's an
exciting area.

Yes, the interest in iOS as the initial platform is because it seems to be
where the money is. But I'd certainly want to cover Android too in due
course.

Regarding your payment scheme, I am not totally convinced  since, if I

The idea here is to tightly focus on very basic functionality: the
presentation of a read-only TiddlyWiki (including media content) as an app,
hopefully including the ability to tag certain content as an in-app
purchase . Then the model is to expose that functionality as a service from
Federatial. People who want to customise the service would be able to pay
for the privilege.

In the past few years, the main thrust of my work on TiddlyWiki has been to
get to the point of the basic functionality that was eventually released
last September. I had to work on things like TiddlyFox and TiddlyDesktop in
order to keep the ecosystem working, but my focus was implementing the
basic functionality of standalone TiddlyWiki.

Best wishes

Jeremy.
