Hi - just wanted to chime in to say that I am actually playing with both of the projects Jeremy mentioned. Neocities is super simple but actually pretty cool to use - it gives you a plain old directory structure for serving html/css/js - it's really easy to upload stuff and it works well with single-file tiddlywikis (though, of course, you can't edit them in place). The whole site is open-source, meaning we could even host our own version just for TWs and associated content if we wanted to.
IPFS is potentially much more interesting and exciting but is not ready for wide-spread use yet. It is a distributed file system in which files are addressed by their hash - it's like "git-hub+bittorrent for everything". This means that when you make a request to the network for a particular file, it gets fetched from the nearest peer who has a valid copy and doesn't need to reach the original copy. It also means that all of the files in the network get versioned, just like github. It's pretty complicated (at the moment, getting it to work requires installing the Go packages by hand) but it has some really cool implications - like, for example, if your latest blog-post or video 'goes viral', the network will handle the load-surge instead of your server getting over-loaded. Also, it acts as a CDN to speed up page load-times around the world (depending on how your files propagate). There are plans to launch a companion technology called 'filecoin' that will let you earn money by storing other people's encrypted files and pay to guarantee the availability of your own content. I think it's definitely 'one to watch'. Here is a good introductory video if you are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=13&v=skMTdSEaCtA Regards, Richard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
