How did you find Tiddlywiki?

[Mohammad]

Q. I am looking for a good note taking app, what is a suitable one around?

Q. I am looking for a personal wiki, what is a suitable standalone portable one?

Q. I am looking for ....

I am using Google, Duckduckgo, Bing, ... which of these  brings Tiddlywiki in their first page of results?

In GitHub I am looking for above keywords: wiki, note taking, .. you can NOT find Tiddlywiki easily!

What is wrong here? Everybody come across this forum says, Tiddlywiki is amazing tool, so why it is that difficult to be found on the net?

1. Does GitHub repo need better keywords, description?

2. Is it required to have a demo website introducing Tiddlywiki in a better way?

3. Is it required to use static website to be indexed by search engines?

may be

I think we should have more regular presence on youtube, and may be different users should create their own "static site" blogs.

 

3. Is it required to use static website to be indexed by search engines?

IMO this would be an advantage. I think goolge would prefer static sites.

Good Questions Mohammad

TiddlyWiki.com does have static tiddlers already, hence why it can come up in search engines however the links remain in the static environment rather than opening the full wiki. Any one trying to reach out publicly that has an internet hosted tiddlywiki should have the additional static tiddlers which link back to the full wiki, and a splash screen when loading the full wiki. We do not have a template for this or easy community solutions to do this, they could be developed with haste.

Generate static html websites that generate a zip file you can save to the server host location, perhaps with appropriate search index file etc, then decompress and its done, we then need a way to generate new zip file with changes only since the last export date to post updated static pages only.

Does the Google Analytics plugin not open tiddlywiki a to Google without going static? 

When enabled Analytics can tell me what tiddlers people have been to. 

Genuine question. I really don't know enough about these things.

I always feel that there's not quite a critical mass of public-facing, content-containing TiddlyWikis out there, and maybe there need to be some more really specific editions so that people don't have to learn to use filters and templates to have a shiny TW that helps them collect and review/present information.

There are more and more, though. The snowball may be building.

I found TiddlyWiki by Googling notetaking/information management software in 2005 while writing a thesis. I suspect TW hooks a lot of a certain personality type in this way, but it's not grabbing the low-friction crowd quite as much.
