Cool project, though - don't mean to take away anything from it.

I find the totally self-contained nature of them very appealing because it travels well through space and time, and it's incredibly accessible, both online and offline.
My current side project is actually using a WebDAV server to host a wide variety of different single HTML file apps that you can carry around on a USB drive or host on the web. The main trick to these apps is the same trick that TiddlyWiki uses, which is to construct a file in such a way that it can create an updated copy of itself and save it back to the server.
I'm attracted to this approach because it's a way to use relatively modern technologies in a way that is independent from giant corporations that want to hoover up all my data, while also being easy to hack and modify to suit my needs on a day-to-day basis.
Any additional info/pointers on this ?
