New Service: ServerSideWiki
TiddlyWiki + Ruby On Rails + Ajax = ServerSideWiki.
A simple formula that really may make your life easier. If you don’t like TiddlyWiki (or GTDTiddlyWiki) because you don’t like to store the html file locally, or you want to access the wiki from any computer with Internet access, ServerSideWiki should be the tool for you:
… All the power of TiddlyWiki, but now ServerSide… accessible from anywhere in the world.
It’s pretty simple really… What you’d seeing is a highly customized version of TiddlyWiki with some RubyonRails magic mixed in turning it into more of a one-person website publishing tool.
Advantages over other Tiddly’s:
1. ServerSide hosting… your data is available anywhere.
2. same look and feel of GTDTiddlyWiki
3. painless upgrades, just login or refresh
4. public visitors can’t edit or add items to your site (even locally)
You will have a subdomain (i.e. username.serversidewiki.com) to access your page after registration. The only downside is there aren’t any option to disable the page being public viewable. So do not store any sensitive data inside.

Nice idea,
I think a version people can put on their own server would be much more useful. I don’t want to have to log on to anything / create an account to get to my GTD, if I did I’d use backpack.

Very nice! I kept forgetting my usb thumb drive all the time, so I eventually stopped using my GTDTiddlyWiki. This serverside element opens up a new possibilities. However, I am starting to get addicted to NextAction which does run on a thumb drive… one of these days I’ll finally PICK something and stick with it…. Anyhow, very nice implementation, I’m very impressed!!!

That last line might be just a little bit misleading. Although entire private wikis are not supported _yet_, individual tiddlers (or all of your tiddlers in fact) can be tagged “private”. They will inherit a cute lock icon, and only be shown when the owner of the account is logged in. The data itself is not sent when the page is accessed by the public, it’s essentially invisible (ie, it won’t show up on timeline, all, or anywhere else, period).
Thanks for the write-up.
