Something to cast an eye over (if you haven’t already) while you enjoy your morning brew…
But an empty Tiddlywiki is about that size, isn’t it?
grumblestill wouldn’t fit on a floppy… /grumble
Maybe some hints on how to jazz up an empty TW on tiddlywiki.com though!! 
Ignore me…I shouldn’t post when tired.
I asked ChatGPT if it could create an app similar to TiddlyWiki but that saves without a browser dependency, and it said it could. It was going to use something called Tauri (sp?) to do so. I was too busy to follow up.
Regarding the OP link, I don’t see where to download a copy to try it, though.

It’s not intuitive.
Click on “take the code”
In the “editor”, click on index.html in the left hand sidebar
A few pixels above, click on the tiny little download icon.
This will download a zipped file.
Unzip it. The new directory will have a name like 54e3d… (maybe it’s different for everyone). In the directory there will be index.html. Double click to open in your browser.

It’s 8.9K. Small, but not 1.5k. But maybe that’s become of the example pages.
It saves by downloading a timestamped version of itself – not by writing to it’s own self.
Can’t see how to navigate back to the home page except by using the back arrow.

This is fascinating. Not useful to me right now, but fascinating.
Didn’t know if this was meant to be ironic, but no. The TW empty edition is more than 250 times the size of this.
Well, the advertising is “minified and gzipped”, and when I gzip it, it ends up less than 3KB. I wouldn’t be surprised if minification brings it down the rest of the way. Gzipping TW empty yields about 450K.
It is extremely minimal. Who needs navigation, anyway?

Oh yeah… It’s k not M. That is small!
What are the contents of your “home” link?
I poked into the submitted comments text and it appears to be [Home](#)
According to OP’s link,
If the URL has no hash, the
.indexarticle is shown by default.
Mamma mia! (words); Mamma mia (retro video).
@tomzheng we should try to bring together ALL of these small “self-saving instances” and examine them closely!!
IMO we could, in TW, make an EXPORTER to any of their formats of TW data.
It IS interesting to see new apps like these.
Can we use TiddlyWiki to maintain them more easily?
TT
Even smaller:
data:text/html, <html contenteditable>

The first project should not work. The first project featured runs with js disabled.
The second WYSIWYG project is possible. But it would take a senior tiddlywiki programmer to do this. After all, the mechanics of tiddlywiki are different from normal web technologies. Also it’s not clear if its image drag and drop import feature would conflict with tiddlywiki.
