UPDATE ...

Please do not use the tiddly.wiki address for permanent redirects.

As Jeremy wrote we re-thought what could be most useful and that is likely some kind of simple resource page for TiddlyWiki with links. 

Until its settled I will leave the redirect in place, but its unlikely to remain longer term.

Best wishes
Josiah


I previously wrote ...

I got (I believe) TIDDLY.WIKI domain working.
I thought it a great address for us no one else should get.
This is a small thank you to Jeremy Ruston. I  bought the domain for five years. These addresses should redirect properly ...
tiddly.wiki --> https://tiddlywiki.com
www.tiddly.wiki --> https://tiddlywiki.com
You could use, for example, tiddly.wiki/#GettingStarted --> https://tiddlywiki.com/#GettingStarted
But the main point is some people will try the address "tiddly.wiki" to find our site. This handles that.
Are there other addresses we should try to buy that you know?

Repeat for folk on email as GG blocks that on first post.

Wow! Awesome! Thank you Josiah (as a fellow member of the community that also agrees we should have it!)

Thanks Josiah

Since I use tiddlywiki.com for the documentation all the time, I can save 3 characters with tiddly.wiki , and it looks good.

Excellent ! Good catch.

Thanks you for us to save this domain name.

We can imagine sub-domain now, like bob.tiddly.wiki, timimi.tiddly.wiki and so on for example, if we want to promote must have plugin/dev.


Have a good day,
Sylvain

Hi Sylvain

Excellent ! Good catch.

Thanks you for us to save this domain name.

We can imagine sub-domain now, like bob.tiddly.wiki, timimi.tiddly.wiki and so on for example, if we want to promote must have plugin/dev.

We might confuse users (and Google) if our community properties are spread across different domains without good reason.

The technicalities of DNS and our hosting arrangements mean that tiddly.wiki cannot be a true alias of tiddlywiki.com, it has to perform a visible redirect.

In terms of what we can do with tiddly.wiki I see the options as:

* Switch our primary domain name from tiddlywiki.com to tiddly.wiki. I am not in favour of this because it breaks backwards compatibility
* Use tiddly.wiki as a secondary site that links/redirects to tiddlywiki.com. Brands often use vanity domain names for campaign landing pages

Josiah and my thinking was that establishing a landing page for TiddlyWiki would be a good opportunity to try out different “marketing” messages independently of the main site.

Best wishes

Jeremy.






Have a good day,
Sylvain
