I use SimpleNote because it has perfect sync from computer to cloud to mobile (conflict-free and instant). Maybe someone can comment here about how they achieve that with TiddlyWiki.

For me, syncing my TiddlyWiki through Dropbox has worked great. Might be tricky though with limited internet connection as it could cause conflicts if you do parallel editing, but so far it hasn't been a problem for me.

I'm-gonna let tiddlywiki finish, but dokuwiki is greatest personal wiki of the tiny subset of internet users that use it.

A while back, I started using docuwiki as a personal knowledge base. Started adding things such as memorable quotes, ideas, understanding about concepts etc. Its easy to structure information using hyperlinks and each page contains bulleted information about one topic.

I am not too concerned with internet availability/mobile accessibility. The idea is just to document stuff that I can access later.

I built a TiddlyWiki site for an RV park circa 2008. It was easy to do and looked great. It was easy for the non-technical owners to update. But Google completely ignored it, and so the park was invisible to most tourists. It folded a few years back, and I partly blame myself, for picking TiddlyWiki.

By now you can export static pages from it, which might help for such use cases: http://tiddlywiki.com/#Generating%20Static%20Sites%20with%20...

I was just thinking that it would be awesome if Tiddlywiki can be exported as a static page. Thanks for the link.

I am also a TiddlyWiki user. I use it as personal note taking + bookmarking + daily reading log. The best feature it has is a Wiki feature, not any TiddlyWiki feature: backlinks. I could make the backlinks show up in the footer of every page (tiddlers) and this reminds me connections I might have forgot. Tiddlywiki is also a great system for bookmarks. If I read something written by or about,say Roosevelt, I just add…

What is the org-mode plugin? I went looking but I could not find it.

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. Voo…

I've been using Quiver (http://happenapps.com/#quiver). It's for Mac but I think it does the job. Although links are not created wiki-style, they are kept when you export your notes to HTML and they don't break when you change the note's name.

Quiver is also propietary but it is possible to create other scripts to export the notes (https://github.com/HappenApps/Quiver/wiki/Quiver-Data-Format).

In any case, I'm also looking for better personal wiki solutions. So far, there is no clear answer. At least for Mac.

How many notes do you think you have? Would it be a problem to have more than 10,000 notes there?

First thing I see upon loading the site: http://thumbsnap.com/i/VSPJ7GZI.png?0130

Could you try with any extensions disabled? We've had problems with some recently

It appears to be the Ghostery extension in my Chrome blocking requests to Google Analytics.

(If I disable it, it works fine).

I think we still don't have a free opensource version of a personal wiki that supports the following:

1. Easy copy and paste (or import) of Web pages (including embedded images) 2. Embedding and resizing images 3. No server requirement. 4. Cross platform 5. Extensible
