This has been noted with ink-dipped quill in my giant tome, Codex Ignoramus.

#4It's really neat, but feels like overkill for every project where I might want to use it. Maybe if I need to publish my organized notes later? For very other case - a structured pile of markdown files.

#5I tried it for a project and I was pleased with what I could do with it (links to other inner sections, web formatting, etc).
However, i couldnt maintain this approach for new projects and daily notes, so i switched to Docsify and markdown a month ago. Docsify needs plugins to accomplish most built-in TiddlyWiki stuff (search, last updated subtitle, etc) and basically forces you to script your way to make a document structure and a working sidebar, but at least I find it less platform-dependent and more customizable.

Tiddlywiki makes use of a browser and in that regard it is platform independent, right?

#7One of the gems on the internet. I first used it with ie4 .... that allowed to be saved locally via ActiveX. Now I have a plugin that saves it to Google drive.
Many thanks to people who developed it.

#9Tiddly wiki’s super powerful killer feature is “Transclusion” + “Scripting”. Even eMacs org mode lacks this to be easily usable .
However the problem with tiddlywiki is saving to the wiki is not straightforward and requires all kinds of hacks depending on what you are looking for. In today connected world you want you notes on your connected devices and it’s not straightforward or user friendly. I wish somebody would just take the Js library that powers tiddly wiki and add / fix these issue.

That’s fine but if you are a note taking nerd ( I mean it positively) you should 100% try it out so you understand how powerful it would be if it just had a little more support saving changes.
