#62I personally think Tiddlywiki is a fascinating project and I even used it professionally for a few years. But, these days, I think you likely do better with either a Dropbox directory full of Markdown files or installing the free tool Simplenote everywhere (mobile/desktop) and using its support for notes/Markdown. It's true that if you go with these simple schemes, you lose wiki-style linking. But, I've found that YA…

Subsidized by Automattic, the creators of Wordpress.com and the (large, 790+ employee) company that is main commercial sponsor of Wordpress open source project. https://automattic.com/
The iOS, Android, and Electron/desktop app is open source, but the server-side environment is proprietary to Automattic. But, the app supports simple zip export of all your notes, which is nothing more than a directory full of plain text files and a JSON file representing the (optional) revision history. I believe the Automattic team operates the service for free because they use it as a testing ground for development frameworks that then cross over to Wordpress.com and other projects.

#64Here's a single-page "simple self-contained web notebook inspired by the "classic" version of TiddlyWiki."
Live demo: https://calroc.github.io/HulloWurld/Hullo.html
Once you're seeing the page you have it all. Click the "Save..." button to keep a local copy with any edit you've made. If you right-click and "save page" you'll get the original content only.)
Repo is here: https://github.com/calroc/HulloWurld
It's just a simple experiment, nothing fancy.

I received few marketing emails related to a topic that I had mentioned only in a Simplenote note and also started seeing online ads for few days. It might just be coincidental but since then I have moved to Notes.app temporarily and I am looking for a replacement - a third party minimal and private note service.

#66Besides Tiddlywiki, does anyone have recommendations for personal wiki software?
Zim, if you actually need the wiki-like stuff.
Cherrytree, if you are mainly after the structured note-taking functionality.
I use both. Cherrytree for all my daily notational needs.

#67Does it integrate with Gitub Pages? I'd like my personal WiKi to be shared as a part of my Jekyll-powered Gitub Pages blog (and I'd love to see more people go this way sharing their knowledge).

#69http://mgsd.tiddlyspot.com/demo3.html TiddlyWiki powered GTD system
there is a newer version, but I think it's worse than the old one.

#70A hyperlinked knowledge-management system for personal use, on all my computers, is essential. To achieve it, I use Emacs and Org-Mode and Dropbox. An additional benefit of using Emacs: the personal wiki can be integrated with my task-management system, which Org-Mode handles as well. Plus I can draft and edit at warp speed, having customized the native Emacs keybindings to suit me better. Were I going to publish my…
Same .. but Keybase has replaced Dropbox for me for these purposes. The encrypted git repositories are awesome!
