1. What do you like about it?

   - It works very well once setup and supports my single file wikis and 
   node JS installs all from one IP Address or local host in the browser
   - I use it all day, and every day on my laptop/desktop

2. What is one improvement that would significantly make it more usable for 
you?
Sorry 3.

1. I must set the settings.json file is fiddly and error prone to configure 
(I like adding user friendly paths so I set and forget, my example attached)
2. I must configure     "etagWindow": 3, and     "etag": "", for it to be 
of any practical use
3.  It would be nice if some default paths where set so one could start 
using it from first install, see example in attached settings.json  eg 
"C:": "C:\\", (this would help novice users, alternatives for each OS)

 
3. What use case should it be extended to fit, in your opinion?

   - Provide methods to host on an always on device to pass through the 
   home router, and be available anywhere (secured IP Port SSL?)
   Not technically TiddlyServer but it would extend its use  to a great 
   extent.

4. What, if any, would you say is its Achilles's heel?

The Settings.json file

Note: in settings.json
"Studio8" and "LGV20 at home" are other nodeJS hosted TiddlyWIkis


A former manager/boss I respect said if you come to me with a problem also 
bring some possible solutions if at all possible.

I believe the Settings.json file could be given a friendly UI in TiddlyWiki 
to add, remove and select paths and generate an up to date settings.json  
you can export to the folder and use, after a usable default config.


Thanks so much for this valuable tool.
