Seems like a long shot but had anybody attempted to host a TiddlyWiki with Microsoft PowerApps? My employer allows us to access PowerApps from our mobile devices and it would be great to access my work wiki from both my desktop and phone or tablet.
By host, you mean a Node server? No, you’re looking at the wrong tool for that. You’re probably going to want to look at Azure, and it would need to be an organizational thing.
If your organization hosts the server(rather, pays for it to be hosted and sets up authentication), it would be possible to create a power app that accesses the server, I would think – but that’s a big if and it doesn’t sound as if it fits your usecase
As far as I know, this is doable and also a potentially complicated project that would be beyond-scope for most organizations.

the easiest (only?) way i can think of would probably be hosting the TW elsewhere and viewing it through an iframe (IFRAME component - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn). but if you’re hosting it elsewhere you may as well just use the browser on the phone.
I don’t know PowerApps, but I have placed TiddlyWiki in a SharePoint wiki library and accessed it via WebDav, the main reason was to allow serial editing by more than one user using checkout/in. Of course read only users or those leveraging local storage can have anytime access they will not see the most recent save until check in.
- I have long felt a comprehensive Q&A about the requirements for a given app would go a long way for finding the implementation method for tiddlywikis.
- The are quite a few different ways to make use of tiddlywiki, or any app/website for that matter, many of which are trivial to implement and some more complex.
Given so many people work remotely, if you can access it in the office then you should be able to access it via a VPN or remote access.
Another approach is to keep the TiddlyWiki on your phone but be able to access it from your desktop, this means the wiki goes with you, rather than you have to go to the Wiki. It solves the contention issue because it remains in one place (backupos elsewhere) and you should always have the source of truth with you.
