How far I've gotten: (revised post Danielo's comments)

1) Created a Cloudant account: https://jwhoneycutt.cloudant.com

1A) In Cloudant -> Account -> CORS: Enabled CORS and restricted to specific 
domain:https://noteself.github.io

2) Open https://noteself.github.io/ in Google Chrome (for some reason 
people keep saying to start TW5's in Google Chrome and use them in FireFox 
<#FireFox>)

2A) Download (instead of Online) - gives me Empty.html in Downloaded folder

2B) In the GettingStarted <#GettingStarted> tiddler I change the following 
entries:

   - Notebook Name: JWH_NoteSelf
   - CouchDB <#CouchDB> URL: https://jwhoneycutt.cloudant.com (right?)
   - Remote database name: JWH_NoteSelf
   - Page title: JWH_NoteSelf

3) I click on Save Config button - and a popup appears: "noteself.github.io 
says: Configuration has been changed and saved. It is necessary to reload 
the window. Are you OK with it?" -> I click OK

4) A "Loading" paints green from left to right for a few seconds, and the 
red circlecheck icon turns gray. It is next to a new button on the sideBar 
labelled OFFLINE (In the silent video this converts to a cloudcheck icon)

4A) Click the OFFLINE box in SideBar (if you see one you don't have a 
cookie) and enter your Cloudant Username and PW

4B) A yellow popup states: "PouchAdaptor <#PouchAdaptor> (time/date stamp) 
Login Failed"

4C) According to Danielo, the OFFLINE box should have converted to a Cloud 
icon (but it didn't)


At this point, the JWH_NoteSelf.html file gives a big red JavaScript error, 
no matter how I try to access it.

I tried bringing it into Atom (the text editor I am trying to learn to 
use), but can't find what to change to fix the html file and make it 
functional again.

I don't understand what are you trying to accomplish with those steps. If 
you pretend to use NoteSelf hosted somewhere else, I mean, different from 
https://noteself.github.io/online that is not the correct way. First, you 
should download the offline version, which is ready to work out of 
noteshelf domain. Then, on you cloudant account you should enable cors for 
any domain, because you are going to serve your file from a different 
domain. You see the RSOD because the online version depends on some stuff 
that is only available when it is loaded from 
https://noteself.github.io/online.

There is a big green button on https://noteself.github.io/ to get the 
offline version. Try it out, but with your first 4 steps you have a working 
NoteSelf instance "installed" in your browser that will work exactly the 
same as the offline version. There is no to little sense to download the 
file to your computer


I don't understand something fundamental here. I keep ALL my 
TiddlyWiki.html files in DropBox. I sync when wifi is available. When I am 
away from wifi (at work for me) I enter tons of tiddlers and make sure that 
I sync my DropBox account online when I get home - definitely before I 
access a TW5.html file from my home desktop (or else I have competing 
versions).

This scenario causes me to have to be very careful about keeping the latest 
version of a TW5.html file either on my laptop or synced to DropBox.

It is this background that has me interested in TWEdit5 for iOS (still in 
Beta) because I REALLY want to be able to create permanent tiddlers on my 
iPhone from anywhere.

It is this same backdrop that has me trying to make NoteSelf work - I can 
use it RIGHT NOW - yes, but I can't get to my edited changes later... at 
least, not yet.

By the Way - thank you for your work, help, and comments - I really see how 
noble a cause this can become.
