TaDa!


If I password protect this tiddlyspot wiki called "TestWiki", will others be able to see it? 

Is tiddlyspot going away? Should I keep trying to host on GitHub with Travis-CI ?

The password used at tiddlyspot is only needed if you want to save the TW back to the spot. It has nothing to do with tiddlywiki's built in encryption.

You may confuse tiddlyspot.com with tiddlyspace.com. tiddlyspace will go away at the end of the year.

I'm not the owner of tiddlyspot, so I can't say, what they are up too. But at the moment there is no indication that it goes away.

If you are comfortable with the mechanism, this may be an option.

have fun!

PS: Did read your tw. .. There are a lot more questions :)

I'm guessing you're using the "...cutt2" because you think your original jwhoneycutt.tiddlyspot.com is "broken" - but this is not the case. If you would prefer to use your original tiddlyspot address, you can simply save the "...2" onto the original one to overwrite it. You do this via Ctrlpanel>Saving and merely fill in jwhoneycutt and the password for that(!) original tiddlyspot, i.e the password that you made up when registering that first one.

What I just described is actually what happens every time you save to tiddlyspot; i.e you take the TW that you currently see in your browser and save it (on-)to that tiddlyspot replacing whatever TW was there before. (You can find the overwritten versions at ..cutt.tiddlyspot.com/backups ).

There is a password for the tiddlyspot server and there is the password tool for the actual TW.
If your TW is locked via the password tool (sidebar>tools>Setpassword) then nobody can read the TW without unlocking it, be it on your local computer or hosted on the web.  If passsword protected a tiddlyspot, others can rsee and even edit it temporarily but not save/overwrite it.

As Mario says - absolutely no indication of that.
