I'm still looking for a good note taking solution for work. I prefer something with a degree of spatial orientation, i.e persistent physical location/hierarchy. With the right organization it seems like tiddlywiki can do that.

Shared note taking tools absolutely need hierarchy. You can't expect your colleagues to know the way your brain sort things. In my opinion tools like roam research will never work for organizations. Especially for that reason.

I think it's mostly that my head needs hierarchy. I need help, to keep the order :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

you can use the node based tiddlywiki and it saves the tiddlers in seperate text files. with the markdown plugin it saves to markdown. With obsidian you can use the markdown as well, or with kiln you can export to gemini or the small web

will it work like external storage, or like backup/export on save ?

It autosaves to the filesystem whenever you make edits. Until you hit save, though, it saves them to a separate Draft file.

Try Obsidian.md possibly?

tiddlywiki to me is scary concept compared to plaintext, it always frightens me that data becomes corrupted or not recoverable from from that html/js blob. But it is also very cool concept, it could be much powerful than it is, think smalltalk like VM inside HTML file.

That's why I use it with git. Not only do I get the ability to revert a catastrophic fuckup, I also get the ability to securely sync across all of my computers.

The only thing missing to make it perfect would be a mobile client, but that's not huge deal for how I use it.

The thing I don't like though is that, because it's all in a single giant html file, it is prone to getting huge. Mine is pretty big, and every time I open it (in Firefox or TiddlyDesktop) there's a noticeable delay.

I'll have to look into breaking the monolith up into smaller files to avoid that.

I couldn't go back (with Back button) once I visited the page https://rr-tw5.github.io/#DAILY%20NOTES . Honestly I really hate this style that many sites are using :(

THIS. Last time I pointed this out on another site I got downvoted. There really is no excuse to break the down button and if the abuse becomes widespread I can imagine browser devs will react the same way they did with popups. As soon as browse nav was busted I totally lost interest in any benefits this app has. If nothing else it’s shoddy development.

You probably got downvoted because it was against the sidewide guides.

I sometimes/often wish there was tags on submissions so that one could avoid even clicking on stories that had this "feature". It would also be great if I could get a feed without, e.g US politics in it.

Hmm, seems to work for me here. And that's after I clicked around a bit too. Then multiple back button clicks returns me back to here. (Safari)

Same for me. Firefox on Windows.

I noticed that the back button continued to work with Firefox on Linux, but the keyboard shortcut (Alt+left arrow) did not work.

There is a mobile client that works excellently called Quine 2. Ive been using it for a couple of years with a mobile accessed Tiddlywiki personal wiki and it works pretty good. I keep the file on iCloud and can open it from desktop and mobile.
