Chyrp was/is amazing. It's so great to see that this project is still alive. When I first set up a Chyrp site around 2010 I had intended to start blogging, but was never happy enough with any of my entries to make them public so I kept it private.
I used Chyrp for several years as a private journal, until I switched to TiddlyWiki and eventually building Obsidian. Now that I do have a public blog I often come back to some of those old drafts I wrote in my Chyrp days, and have polished and published quite a few of them.
I remember loving how low-friction Chyrp was, both to write and build themes/plugins for.
- aidog 3y agoOh hey! Just want to say thanks for obsidian. Just opened your app a second ago to write my notes about Miyazaki Airport, where I'm at. Works great on mobile.
- vineyardmike 3y agoOmg someone else who used TiddlyWiki! I used it for a while, and even rolled my own server because I didn’t like theirs. I’ve also moved on, but I never hear about others using it.
- aquariusDue 3y agoTiddlyWiki is truly a hidden gem nowadays. For anyone curious about how far you can take it I recommend reading "Grok TiddlyWiki" and checking out the author's public TiddlyWiki. https://groktiddlywiki.com https://groktiddlywiki.com https://zettelkasten.sorenbjornstad.com/#PublicHomepage:PublicHomepage https://zettelkasten.sorenbjornstad.com/#PublicHomepage:Publ...
- graemep 3y agoThanks, I am going to read that. I used TiddlyWiki many years ago. I have been using Zim but Tiddlywiki might be a better fit for project specific notes.
- rpdillon 3y agoI've been using TW daily as my work organizer for several years. I also wrote my own server so it would handle backups and allow asset uploads that could then be linked from within the TiddlyWiki (mostly for screenshots). I agree that there seems to be only the tiniest of communities around TW, so it's always nice to meet a fellow fan. It's a wonderfully hackable platform that you can make truly your own. For example, I was a bit frustrated that it didn't have a streamlined way to add new entries to a log. So I wrote a macro that provided logging functionality, tie that to a button that I added to the UI and I had exactly what I wanted in ~50 lines of code. It feels a lot like extending Emacs. I do wish they were a better keyboard shortcuts throughout, though.
