Firstly, did anyone move from Voodoo Pad to TiddlyWiki? My current feeling is that using Voodoo Pad would be about 5-10x faster than TiddyWiki just because of the editor. But that may be a false assumption. How fast do you Tiddle?
Next, is anyone here familiar with the work of Chris Granger / Kodowa and has been following the development of Eve? I'm excited about this and think people here will be too (links below)
Additionally, if anyone has used Ward Cunningham's Smallest Federated Wiki I'd be interested to hear how that went. It also has a WISYWIG editor but I've no idea what it's like to run locally.
I have no experience with VoodooPad. How "fast you tiddle" I'd say depends on how/what you implement with TW (for example, I initiated an attempt called FastNewTiddler with this in mind... if it is finished, I think it would be very fast). Saving is probably a slower matter though, but I can think of options here too. However, overall, I'm sure many systems are faster than TW.
I didn't watch the clip yet but from the link to Eve, it doesn't seem to be released yet? Is it even free and open source?
My impression has been that the SFW is only a prototype so far? It just appears rather unpolished but maybe I'm wrong. (Hope I'm not insulting anyone.) A major difference - if I understand right - is that it requires a server.
I'd love it if you could double click on a Tiddler to reveal it's source like in SFW. I think that would speed things up a great deal.

Thanks for starting the discussion, and particularly for the pointer to Eve, which I hadn’t seen before. I think it shares with TiddlyWiki the goal of enabling people who are not conventional software developers to gather data, and explore/publish it by creating/composing a sort of custom application.
For me, the simplest expression of the limitation of most notetaking applications like VoodooPad, OneNote or Evernote is that the UI is fixed; if the generic, off-the-shelf UI doesn’t fit your workflow, there’s little you can do about it. TiddlyWiki’s approach is to use a dialect of wikitext that is powerful enough to express a modern web UI; indeed, the entire user interface is written in wikitext, and so can be hacked or cloned.
Eve seems to be more focussed on structured data than TiddlyWiki but to share broadly similar goals.
Thanks for TW and thanks also for this response. Funnily enough I noticed in another thread you were discussing Tidal – I'm actually a Tidal user and former colleague of it's creator Alex Mclean @ Leeds Uni. Small world!
