Heads up: The page appears editable. Not sure if that was the intention, but might want to lock public write access.

It's supposed to be editable, but not in the way you expect - TiddlyWikis are single-file HTMLs that can live on your desktop and are usually used for note taking. When you are finished with your edit, you can save a copy of the entire page using "File > Save Page As": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TiddlyWiki

...unless this GH-userpage hosted version is special in this regard.

Got it, thanks! I will have to give TiddlyWiki a shot someday. It doesn't seem to fit my personal needs, but something the family can use easily.

Wow, finding the github link was so hard

https://github.com/rr-tw5/rr-tw5.github.io

What I usually do if something is hosted on GitHub but doesn’t include a link to the repo itself is I will go to the GH profile that the page is hosted for and look there.

But agree that a simple to find link is preferable.

I couldn't go back (with Back button) once I visited the page https://rr-tw5.github.io/#DAILY%20NOTES . Honestly I really hate this style that many sites are using :(

THIS. Last time I pointed this out on another site I got downvoted. There really is no excuse to break the down button and if the abuse becomes widespread I can imagine browser devs will react the same way they did with popups.

As soon as browse nav was busted I totally lost interest in any benefits this app has. If nothing else it’s shoddy development.
