System: Windows 7/8/10, using Firefox or Chrome to edit TW5 on tiddlyspot.com.

I want to make my TW available to the public to read but not edit. My TW on Tiddlyspot already has a password, but that's for edits only. I'd like to hide the contents of a tiddler (like a TODO list) from the general public. It's ok to show the link to my TODO list but I don't want them to see the actual contents of the tiddler. Is it possible to hide a tiddler or set a password on it so most people (beginners) cannot find it?

Thank you for your patience. I'm still new at TW, I'm not an advanced user, but I'm learning as I go. :)

You can check out Danielo's encryption tool:

However, it hasn't been updated in awhile, so be sure to test it a bit.

Good luck!

I use it on a daily basis, works great especially with the filter/mass encryption. However BE AWARE not to double encrypt. that is if you encrypt tidller S and then use a filter where tiddler A is included, it will encrypt it again. You can still decrypt it, but you need to remember the two passwords and use them in the correct sequence, that's not always easy.

Someone can close this thread.

I was about to.

But recent admin changes mean that it is no longer possible for users to close threads.
