In case Danielo couldn't convince you to host your wiki at GitHub, here is another bonus: I created a wizzard that makes it very easy to add an image gallery to your README.txt (=your project's welcome page).

Another cool  single page application! I really love the style, and the fact that it is all vanilla Javascript,which doubles the awesomeness! Have you used Saas or less or something similar for the styles? does not looks like that, but I am curious.

I though about using issues to "upload" the images, but I ended using a dedicated branch, which I regret about. One of the reasons was, that I did not know that I can upload the images without actually creating an issue, and I did not wanted to create an issue saying: dummy issue for uploading images. The other reason is that I don't know how github treats the issues attachments, how long do they last? does this break the terms of use in any way?

And a last question, why have you released this AFTER I have wasted some minutes uploading images by hand to write my readme??!!  smiley: Angry - keystrokes: :grr

Hi @Felix,

This looks really interesting, and I'm sure that for those hosting their main TW wikis on GitHub it will be very well used. Unfortunately, I'm only using GitHub to host my public, online (dev) wiki which I use only for getting (and later giving) help with using TW itself. My main implementation of TW is kept offline at home.

Another great argument in favour of hosting TW wikis on GitHub is this, from @Danielo, in another thread...

Each time the wiki is built, tiddlywiki is installed, so as long as tw 5.1.10 is released (or any other release) the only thing you have to do is a commit, and your next build will be using the latest release. This is a cool side effect of Travis system, each virtual machine is "snapshot-ed back" after each built, so you always start from a fresh environment.

That is so awesome! Upgrades just happen automatically.
