Just quickly watched this[1] video showing an intro to Dendron.
I'm currently using tiddlywiki[2] so that's primarily what I'm comparing it too.
Both tiddlywiki and dendron look very similar, supporting various forms of linking to one another. Dendron seems to have a more complete hierarchical way of combining pages, at least compared to the way that I use tiddlywiki.
Tiddlywiki's advantage is the amount of plugins it has available. I think I also still prefer tiddlywiki because I just have it hosted on a server, so I can access my notes from whatever machine, including my phone. For dendron ( an electron app ) I'm guessing I would have to have some sort of Dropbox/Nextcloud system setup to sync notes between machines. The fact that I'm in my browser all the time and can just open a web page to access tiddlywiki is also preferable. The least amount of friction between a thought in my head to being able to write it down, the better.
I was interested in Dendron because looking at its website, dendron supports a graph visualization of all your notes, like concept mapping[3]. But unfortunately it doesn't look like this concept mapping feature is prioritized, or the main focus of dendron. That's really the main thing I would like to add to tiddlywiki, some sort of functional concept mapping feature. I've tried tiddlymap[4], but its not very well supported.

- Naac 6y agook, so even more of a pain to keep notes in sync now right? git push from the source, and then again a git pull from the destination. And let's not think about if you accidentally forgot to sync your two repos, and now you have to deal with merge conflicts.
- brainburp 6y agoThere is a TiddlyWiki plugin for relating different tiddlers: TiddlyMap. It allows creation of concept maps.
- kevinslin 6y agoYou're right, Dendron doesn't easily integrate with web clients yet. Files are plaintext markdown and most of our users are using dropbox/nextcloud setup. That being said, Dendron lets you publish your notes as static sites (eg. https://dendron.so https://dendron.so is just published using notes) and we'll be expanding this feature to do private hosting of notes with limited editing capabilities later in December
