Once installed, you can save the tiddlywiki files without any extra steps, like the original Tiddlyfox addon. Timimi is a web-extension accompanied by a native host that allows you to save and backup your standalone HTML tiddlywiki files anywhere in your hard-drive. I use it with Firefox and sync with Dropbox. Have you tried using Timmi with your browser ? I had problems initially with the file save workflow till I found Timmi. Note: Don’t save things to the Desktop on Scholarly Commons computers long-term, as files are routinely erased.I find the TiddlyDesktop to be too heavy for what can be done in the browser itself. After, you can click on the cat icon and set it to automatically save your changes to your file on the Desktop. If you’re using Firefox and using the Firefox plugin I recommend downloading an empty wiki and copying it from your Downloads and pasting it to your G:Drive or another place where files aren’t deleted automatically. It creates one HTML file that you update as you save. Setting up where your files save so you can find them again is probably the hardest part of setting up a TiddlyWiki. You can use TiddlyWiki with TiddlySpot, Tiddly Desktop, or various browsers as well as node.js or a variety of other options for saving the program. There are encryption plugins, which I have not tested, to create password-protected tiddlers and offer some basic security (though neither I nor the creators of TiddlyWiki endorse putting sensitive information on one of these sites). TiddlyWiki includes search functionality and tagging, which is especially useful, as you can click on a tag you get a list of pages that have that tag. You can add images and scribble all over them, as well as save links to websites with a download and some difficulty. There is also a plugin that will let you write your tiddlers in Markdown if you are more familiar and comfortable with that. The WikiText language is similar to Markdown. There is a WYSIWYG editor and formatting options, though you will still need to become familiar with the WikiText language in order to use more interesting formatting and customization. There are a lot of options for customization, as well as an active community that keeps the project alive and adds new customization options for different purposes (such as for writing a thesis). I think this has to be a fairly common use case: I keep a local copy but want to access it from my phone, so it is periodically saved to TiddlyHost or maybe gitlab/hub pages. However, TiddlyWiki is not as pretty and is focused more on note-taking and information management than presentation. This is very similar to Scalar CMS where all content is equal, and can be linked or embedded in each other to tell both linear and nonlinear stories. Tiddlers are individual units that you can incorporate into larger tiddlers through a process called “transclusion.” To have a tiddler all you need is a title. The more people that share, the faster the. It will resume where it left off if you turn off your machine. Still, if you’re looking for a way to manage all of your information and feeling particularly adventurous (and not at all into aesthetics, as TiddlyWiki is an ugly website - though CSS customization is possible) you might enjoy TiddlyWiki.Įverything in TiddlyWiki is a small piece, a tiddler - a British word for a small fish - which you can stack, arrange, and link however you like. Just keep it running - until you can share it. TiddlyWiki is mostly used for task management. To summarize: this is a British, somewhat tricky to use, free and open source note taking and information management linked web wiki platform made in Javascript. “It’s like a hypertext card index system from the future” -Jeremy Ruston, in the TiddlyWiki intro video There is a new prerelease here: GitHub Release Fifteenth Release (Prerelease 4) TiddlyWiki/TiddlyDesktop This release includes the following changes since the Fourteenth Release: Update to nw.js v.0.67. Here at Commons Knowledge we like to talk about all of the various options out there for personal and information management tools, so today we’re talking about TiddlyWiki! jeremyrustonAugust 26, 2022, 1:35pm 1 I’m preparing a new release of TiddlyDesktop.
