Can I upload my own existing TiddlyWiki file?

Yes. The procedure at Using a 5.1.23 or earlier version of TiddlyWiki can be used for uploading an existing TiddlyWiki file to your Tiddlyhost site.

Can I use TiddlyWiki 5.1.23 instead of the 5.1.24 prerelease?

You can. See Using a 5.1.23 or earlier version of TiddlyWiki for details.

Where can I report problems?

Create an issue in Github or send an email.

I signed up but I didn't receive a signup confirmation email

It's possible the signup confirmation email is being classified as spam and either rejected by your email server, or filtered into the spam folder by your email client. FYI the signup confirmation email will be send with a from address of tiddlyhost@gmail.com.

If you have spam filtering problems you really can't avoid, email me and I'll see what I can do to get you your confirmation code.

Why can't I permanently set the autosave option?

See the explanation here.

How should the "TiddlySpot Saver" be configured for Tiddlyhost and for Tiddlyspot

See TiddlySpot Saver configuration.

Can I contribute code or feature suggestions?

Sure.

Will you stop rewriting the history and doing force pushes?

Yeah, sorry about that. I'll aim to stop force pushing to 'main', (but I may force push to the 'devel' branch if I feel the need).

Is Tiddlyhost free?

For now, yes.

Will it always be free?

Hosting Tiddlyhost costs money. Maintaining and supporting Tiddlyhost takes time and effort. For that reason I'd like to make Tiddlyhost a "freemium" service, with a free option, but also with some paid options. How that works is yet to be determined.

Can I create my own version of Tiddlyhost?

Yes.

Can you help me with that?

I'll do my best to answer questions, but you're going to need to have some experience with building and deploying web applications. My intention is to write some docs on how to do it, but it won't be soon. See also #23.

If you just want to run Tiddlyhost on your local workstation, then following the steps in the README.md should get you there.

Will Does Tiddlyhost support TiddlyWiki Classic?

Maybe Mostly. Yes, though very old TiddlyWikis with the older "storeArea" format won't work. See also #83.

Will Tiddlyspot come back like it was before with 'save to web' support?

No Maybe Yes. See details here.

What about the jsMath plugin for Tiddlyspot sites?

It's works now also.

This is cool, can I buy you a coffee/help out with hosting bills/show my support?

You can donate via Paypal or sponsor via Github Sponsors. See the details here.

What if I don't have a PayPal account or a Github Sponsor account?

I think you can still donate with a credit card without signing up for a PayPal account. I'm not sure about Github.

Are there any other ways to help or show support?
