FAQ
It's a web site where you can easily create public or private TiddlyWikis with a working save button.
There are many ways to set up TiddlyWiki so you can conveniently save, but in general the listed methods are complicated, require installing additional software, and they are sometimes buggy, unsupported, and not well documented. This leads to a bad user experience. Also, because there are so many options it's hard for new users to choose where to start. Tiddlyhost aims to be a solution for that problem. I'd like it to become the default best way to introduce TiddlyWiki to a new user, particularly if they're not already experienced software hackers.
No. A Tiddlyhost TiddlyWiki is a standard TiddlyWiki. You will always be able to download it and do whatever you want with it.
Yes.
However, if the TiddlyWiki version is older than 5.2.0 there are some extra steps to make it work. (See the next FAQ for details.)
You can. See Using a 5.1.23 or earlier version of TiddlyWiki for details.
- Download your site via the "Actions" menu at Tiddlyhost.
- Follow the instructions at https://tiddlywiki.com/upgrade.html to upgrade.
- Confirm the new upgraded html file works okay by opening it in your browser.
- Upload the new file to your site via the "Actions" menu at Tiddlyhost.

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.
See the explanation here.
See TiddlySpot Saver configuration.
Sure.
For now, yes.
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.
Yes.
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.
Maybe Mostly. Yes, though very old TiddlyWikis with the older "storeArea" format won't work. See also #83.
No Maybe Yes, it's back. See details here.
Tiddlyhost users can "claim" a Tiddlyspot site if they know the password. Once you claim a site you will have the ability to:
- See it in your site list
- Set it to public or private
- Change the password
- List it in the Tiddlyspot Hub
- Add tags and a description
- (In future) Delete it
It's works now also.
You can. See here for an example.
You can donate via Paypal or sponsor via Github Sponsors. See the details here.
In future you may be able to donate via other methods, or pay for a Tiddlyhost subscription.
I think you can still donate with a credit card without signing up for a PayPal account. I'm not sure about Github.
- Delete old sites if you're not using them.
- Don't embed large media files in your site. Tiddlyhost will struggle with very large TiddlyWiki files.
- Report bugs or suggest ideas. (See above for how to do it.)
- Review the issue list and contribute to discussions there.
- Follow the Tiddlyspot Blog.
- Follow Tiddlyhost on Twitter.
- Join the TiddlyWiki Google Group/Mailing List and participate in Tiddlyhost related discussions there.
