ColdFusion is not used very much these days, compared to .Net, PHP and such, and some of you may never have heard of it. But it's still in active development, and popular in government/state work especially, since a surge in the mid-90s.

* File Save - I've got a CFM file that is taking the TW file and saving it to the storage location, so that a browser can just reload and get the most current one. Works on mobile browsers too as you would imagine.

* Does simple backups.

* saves in location specified in the TiddlySpot dialog/config.

Adding more features as time goes on.

Will get the code up on GitHub at some point, but I doubt any of you have your own ColdFusion hosted site. I'm sure there's no one clamoring for it, but I thought I'd drop a note here anyway.

I'm sure I'll be aksing more questions here about how to structure the info that is returned back to the TW instance tha is running in the current browser.

I actually have an online server that I was thinking about installing node.js on so I could host tiddlywikis. Would ColdFusion be a good alternative to node.js? Would it maybe be easier to install and use by someone who has never used either?

Hi David,

I now do have my own ColdFusion hosted site; I just finished installing it on my VPS. And now I am clamoring...

I don't know much about node.js sites at all. So I can't offer much help with a comparison.

I can send you my CFM file and if your CF is running properly already, then it would just be a matter of pointing your TiddlySpot settings to it.

Great! I'd love to try it.
