If you just open the file in a browser, it provides deployment instructions.

I thought it might work like Tiddlywiki, so I tried that first. Not a bad little hack.

Every time I start work in a different business, I start a glossary. I have considered a specialized web application for that purpose, but always end up just creating a Google Doc or a wiki page, depending on what the company uses.

Yes -- you beat me to it :-).

The built-in server is meant to be run only locally/offline (typically by a developer), just for making changes to a glossary. If you download and open the template (not one of the "full" examples) in a browser, then it tells you how:

sed -n '/START OF editor.js$/,$p' glossary.html | FILE=glossary.html node

Then you would host glossary.html (and maybe the CSS and JS if you don't want to point to the CDN) wherever you want, as it's just a static web page.

I will make this clearer in the documentation -- thanks!
