We are currently using Tiddlywiki as the documentation for our Learning Management System. Even the non-technical administrators can navigate where they need to and do the things they need to do. It is insanely easy to work with.

Back in 2006 I made this experiment using TiddlyWiki to explain a piece of code: http://akkartik.name/countPaths.html. It seemed like a good fit: code is a fundamentally non-linear medium and benefits from being expressed in a fundamentally non-linear substrate. I still think about this every so often, though lately I've been focusing more on communicating the big picture (http://akkartik.name/about)

TiddlyWiki producted the best demonstration of a Getting Things Done methodology (organize things to be actionable, display things under a given context, organize things by blockers) I've ever seen. http://mgsd.tiddlyspot.com/demo3.html This provides so many more features & organization than what a traditional Todo app provides. The UX was great, but I didn't like the local data-lock-in due to tiddlywiki. ( Also - th…

The "plugin" that you linked is for the older version of TiddlyWiki (it's called TiddlyWiki Classic now).

There is a plugin for the modern TiddlyWiki (IIRC it's full name is TiddlyWiki5) called GSD5 (GSD is for "Getting Stuff Done"): http://gsd5.tiddlyspot.com/ .

I've never used TW Classic and original mGSD, but GSD5 is "heavily inspired by mGSD" and on first glance they look alike a lot.

And, anyway, TiddlyWiki5 with GSD5 rocks.

I use TiddlyWiki across my Windows, Android and Ubuntu devices. I use it as my universal operating environment. I use it to store my writing, my ideas, my catalogs and inventory, my projects. You name it, it can be customized to fit.

Is there an Android app that you use, or do you just use the web edit?

Every few years it seems like I do a complete survey of all the personal wiki solutions out there. TiddlyWiki always comes in a close second to vimwiki for my use. Tiddly is an impressive system and kudos to the developers.

I think my ideal would be an updated VooDooPad that uses markdown syntax with wiki style [[links]], with support for drag and drop attachments and expose pages as text files on the filesystem. VooDooPad is really close to this but seems to be abandoned and more complex that it needs to be. Actually, now that I think about it, Typora very close. If it had wiki links that opened the linked page in the same window (and added back and forward navigation) it would be perfect.
