You can also use the default save mechanism. Works every time everywhere. To make it more convenient, you then use a simple batch launch script whenever you start up (just like a regular desktop app). I've made one for Windows (I have another post about it). I'm confident that one could be made for Linux. My understanding is that there is a batch language available for Mac, so maybe someone could put one together for that platform (or send me an Mac and I'll do it ;-) )
This is the simplest solution. Of the other solutions, only TiddlyServer comes close. With node.js you lose single-file ability.
