Just to say, having researched all the wikis suggested above, that I think Notion’s address is: https://www.notion.so. (notion.io is a home automation site!).

Sorry, Hugh - yes, quite right, notion.so
And you might want to take a quick look at http://www.nuclino.com, which is similar, but possibly even simpler in concept. I rather like it!
@Dr Andus
The transfer of data is definitely a bit awkward. Have you thought of looking for a Dropbox-based static HTML page generator, perhaps with search function included? Nothing springs immediately to mind, but I did do a little research into this a while ago. I’ll see if I can dig out my notes. There are some lovely super-simple concepts that automatically use Markdown files (effectively text files) as web pages, meaning that if you could output your CT content as a load of separate files, you could probably manage them through some kind of web server.
Cheers,
Bill

Yeah, I would love to be able to do something like that, as long as it’s not too labour-intensive to set up and maintain and if at least some basic wiki functions are working, such as links between pages, images, files (mainly PDFs), and some kind of tags. But I’d miss some of the more advanced features of CT.
This then makes me think that maybe the easiest thing would be to try to turn my Windows laptop with CT on it into a ‘server’ by leaving it permanently on at home, and just use my Chromebook to connect to it remotely using Chrome Remote Desktop (CRD).
Unfortunately I didn’t find CRD 100% reliable when I tried this in the past, and it’s terrible to be in the middle of a meeting wanting to show others something just to find out that CRD can’t connect for some inexplicable reason.
It doesn’t help that my employer doesn’t allow such connections on its network, so I’d need to use my own mobile broadband connection, which costs money.
But maybe it’s worth trying again, as my Chromebook is a lot lighter to carry around than my Windows laptop.

Thanks for the suggestion, Bill - it looks interesting!

Here is a workaround for using and sharing a TiddlyWiki across multiple (Android-capable) Chromebooks.
The setup and the process looks a bit involved, so it’s not quite the simple solution I’ve been hankering for, but at least it seems to be possible:
“Tiddlywiki via Termux”
