Hi, In a previous mail I told how our last semester explorations in the local community building, deploying and teaching Brea[1][2], a Pharo powered tool between a Static Site Generator and a headless CMS, led me towards TiddlyWiki[3] as the more dynamic counterpart of such deployments and today we a a little chat[4] with Norbert about trying to avoid the over complication of NodeJS and replacing that with a pretty simple Pharo based counterpart.

Teapot?). I don't have experience in Ruby, but maybe something in the list can help. It seems that the script opens a folder in the local file system and serves the files there. One of them is a TiddlyWiki file and once it is served (at port 8000) the class DefaultFileHandler (lines 18 to 35) takes care of saving the file and sucesive copies of it. Particularly lines 25 and 26 create a backup of the body in the current file and updates the Tiddly file body with new versions as saving is done in the web user interface. But further details scape me, particularly how the server knows that the TiddlyWiki file is being save.

Cheers, Offray
