Review of: TiddlyWiki - a reusable non-linear personal web notebook

5/5 (minimum 1)

by drewp on 28 Nov 2006

Mind-blowing wiki UI. I am slowly learning when to apply the tiddlywiki, and it's a winner every time. The UI looks good and feels good, and doesn't waste clicks or time. You will quickly devote maximum brainpower to content creation, which is a lot more than I can say for other wiki products. But don't be confused- tiddlywiki doesn't compete with most normal wikis. It's really good at quickly assembling sets of short pages with one user. You probably have that scenario more often than you realize.

The nature of the original TiddlyWiki makes saving a bit touchy. It's possible to lose work, but it's easy to learn not to do that. There exist other TW adaptations that have a more traditional server-side component that allows multi-user, reliable saving. They are also cool, but they're not the zero-setup, carry-on-your-thumb-drive masterpiece that is the original TW.
