Nice project! ... I had a short look at the code base. ... Your web based 
IDE is a node app. right? ... 

So you should have the whole TW build infrastructure in place already. ... 

TiddlyWiki can be automatically built with github web-hooks or life on the 
plattform if needed. There are 2 possibilities. 

a) Single file TW, that is self-contained and can be viewed with every 
browser. ... NO server side needed. Everything runs on the client.

b) So called "static" site, that "compiles" your wiki into several *.html 
files, which can be easily served with a small express based node server. 
This solution would need a server-side, but has basically no CPU overhead, 
since the work is already done on "compile time". Since the resulting html 
files contain mainly text, they should be small. ..

As Jeremy pointed out. Relatively straight forward, but some tweaking 
needed. Since There are only 39 wiki pages atm. Manually transferring the 
stuff should be about 1h work.  

Configuring and optimizing the workflow, will be definitely more work.

Yes. Should be straight forward too. ... It depends a little bit if you 
need a) or b) from above. ... But it should be doable.

have fun!
