I tried Tiddlywiki a few years ago and it was fun but I just was too often switching between devices to deal with the pain of keeping it up to date.
I never really moved to another wiki solution but more just kept notes in different notetaking apps like Joplin (and currently Obsidian).
I'm curious what use case tiddlywiki (or similar wikis) solve for you that aren't solved by notetaking apps? I love the idea of collaborating on wikis (and do contribute to wikipedia) but for most of my notes I feel like a wiki is overkill.
- karencarits 4y agoWell, TiddlyWiki is a much more general platform than any notetaking app that I know of. I use it more as a single-file database with an integrated front-end. Data are organized as tiddlers wih fields (if the wiki is about books, I can add fields for author, publication year, rating, and I can have other tiddlers for quotes or my thoughts on the book with other fields) that can be filtered and presented as I want without requiring advanced programming knowledge. It plays nicely with git, doesn't require a server, can be e-mailed, doesn't require special software to view or edit, easy to share, cross-platform, looks similar on all platforms, can be used for sensitive data (as I can keep it locked down on my harddrive), and will probably work in 20 years. Have a look at https://dynalist.io/d/zUP-nIWu2FFoXH-oM7L7d9DM https://dynalist.io/d/zUP-nIWu2FFoXH-oM7L7d9DM to see what people have used tiddlywiki for.
