To me it seems ODD that TW does not natively have an INSTANT READER-PUBLISH mode.
I do NOT mean a means to get an offline TW online. Several exist.
I mean a direct, built in method, to transform an editable TW into a NON-EDITABLE one & auto-upload it, but still dynamic, with all features except editing.
To take that further, a SEMI-EDITABLE version option that could allow for edited notes and bookmarks but prevents change of existing tiddlers.
Has anyone done this? Is it of interest?
It seems to me there is a huge potential for semi-editable versions of classic texts as well as read-only versions.
For years I used RadioUserland to maintain a blog. One of its greatest features was INSTANT transform of editable (desktop) to directly published read-only (online).

I added Sticky notes to the KJV Bible project, but haven't heard what people think of the idea.
In general, once you have your content in the smallest "semantic unit" (maybe paragraphs), it should be easy to display it with the option to annotate or bookmark. A side entry in the TOC would display bookmarks and annotations.

What I am really interested in is when folk like you devise a suited way forward can make a published version that permits stuff like bookmarks and annotation but can STOP everything else. The point being its a DEFINITIVE TEXT, not an editable one.
I am convinced the combination of basic bookmarking and (maybe) verse level notes will be be intuitively right for the audience for stuff like the Bible.
Right now in TW this kind of RESTRICTING full-editing AND allowing bookmarking and adding notes is not possible.Yet opening the whole editing interface is CONFUSING & not right in a way beacuse the text is GIVEN. BUT not having any tools is equally bad.
Its quite a BIG issue IMO.
