Share a TiddlyWiki as a read-only link
A TiddlyWiki is one HTML file, so it can be uploaded and shared like any other page. Readers browse it in their browser; you keep editing your own copy and upload it again.
A TiddlyWiki lives in a single .html file: the notes, the links between them and the wiki software itself. That makes it easy to keep on your own machine and awkward to show anyone else. Sent as an attachment, the file usually downloads instead of opening, as why HTML files do not open from email explains.
Uploading the file and sending a link avoids that. The recipient clicks it and the wiki opens in their browser, with search, tags and links between tiddlers working as they do for you.
Upload the wiki file
Save your wiki in TiddlyWiki as usual so the .html file holds your latest changes. Drag that file onto the FileShare Pro dashboard and copy the link. Viewers need no account, and the page opens on desktop and phone.
An empty TiddlyWiki is a few megabytes and grows with embedded images. The free plan accepts files up to 100 MB each, which covers most wikis.
- ✓The shared copy is read-only in practice. A reader can open the editor, but a hosted page has nowhere to save to, so their changes disappear when they reload.
- ✓Images linked from your computer rather than embedded in the wiki will not load for readers. Import them into the wiki first, or link to images that are already online.
- ✓Plugins that are part of the wiki file travel with it. Anything that needs a TiddlyWiki server, such as multi-user editing, does not apply to a single uploaded file.
Update it without changing the link
Keep editing your own copy. When you want readers to see the changes, upload the saved file over the old one. The link stays the same: updating a shared link without changing it.
Keep it private, collect notes
Shared pages carry a noindex tag, so a personal wiki or team notebook does not appear in search results: sharing a preview without Google finding it. On Pro you can add a password: password-protecting an HTML page.
Turn on comments and readers can leave a note on the page after typing a name, which is useful when a wiki is a draft others are checking. The view count shows whether the people you sent it to have opened it.
For other single-file formats that share the same way, see sharing a Twine story as a link and sharing a saved copy of a web page.
