Tiddlydesktop save changes6/13/2023 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). 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. 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. 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 I reccomend it as well.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! This app also seems to be compatible with a Google Drive plugin app I use called "Tiddly Drive" which is free and allows me to access/modify/save Tiddlywikis saved on Google Drive within a Chrome browser. Hit the radio button next to "Google Drive" so that it turns green. the three dots in the top right of the screen, select "Edit" from the pop up Screen should now list "Locations" with radio buttons next to them. to the main screen of the application ("Quine 2" should be in orange letters at the top of the screen). HOW TO CHANGE "Location" FROM "iCloud Drive" to "Google Drive". I'm happy with the App functionality, but because of this warning and anxiety that the system might go sideways at some point I'm rating the app 4/5 stars. Internet searches on this issue did not provide further info either. Next to it is a menu with a friendly-worded document titled "Understand Permissions" explaining this issue. TIP ON HOW TO ACCESS FILES VIA GOOGLE BELOWI'm struggling with how to "Grant Permissions", I still have the warning triangle displayed on my Wikis. This app allows me to access, modify, and save the Tiddlywiki files I have saved on Google Drive.
