I love tiddlywiki because it defies description.

No, I realy mean it, it can do so many diverse things it is imposible to list the top features.

It's true. (And it is also a problem that it is true! I find it a hard sell when I can't describe it.)

It is useful to record initial responses to TiddlyWiki ...

I try to note what I can because these can be useful, not just to see here now, but also in later marketing.

All thoughts welcome.

This blog post https://twelvety.micro.blog/2019/01/26/responding-to-amit.html is very interesting on why Phil went #TiddlyWiki. Its considered thought.

@outlieranalysis 

[CJ Veniot]

I love TiddlyWiki because it is the best thing (since sliced bread!) around for Intertwingularity Mapping, for Information Componentization, and for (still working on my wording) weaving Information Assemblies.

Well, that's my "Alpha 0.1" explanation of it...

[Chris Fischer]

TW is exactly what I needed to provide a completely self-contained Wiki on a USB thumb drive to people I deal with. It's great, and the help on this group has been invaluable and friendly and tolerant of this newbie.

[Luis Gonzalez]

It works like the brain: jumping from one idea to another

[Luis Gonzalez]

You can link ideas just like the brain does

[TiddlyTweeter]

TiddlyWiki, in practice, in community, is very good. Healthy.

The user group at  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tiddlywiki particularly. 

The Men and WomAn there bend a lot to help supplicants achieve better incarnation.

I love TiddlyWiki because I have Stockholm Syndrome and have fallen in love with this thing that has kidnapped and victimized me. :-)

[ludwa6]

And i hate you, DaveG, because you made me blow green tea out my nose!  

Seriously tho: i laughed too hard at this, because it rings true a bit too close to home.

Good one, mate!

/walt

[Charlie Veniot]

Thanks a lot Walt.

Now I have "I blew green tea out of my nose" in my head as part of alternative lyrics to Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence."

So instead of "In restless dreams I walked alone", "I blew green tea out of my nose".

That's all I've got, and figuring out the rest or the alternative lyrics is going to drive me bananas for the rest of the weekend.

DaveG:  what have you done?  It is kind of like the commercial with the butterfly, the chain reaction of events.

[Em Heppler]

The use of drop downs for transcluded tiddlers is brilliant. How did you do that?

[Charlie Veniot]

G'day Em,

Brilliance?  Aw shucks.  Thanks!

Just in case it interests anybody else, I posted the simple magic in a this new thread of discussion.

(I'm a huge fan of transclusion, to the point of favouring transclusion over macros when a macro seems more painful to me.  Well, I'll go with macro when transclusion just doesn't make any sense for the way this sponge is wired ...)

[Charlie Veniot]

Total aside: I love the word "brilliant" for "cool/awesome/terrific", and even more so when used for verbal irony.

We just don't hear it much in my corner of the world.  So although maybe a little odd to make such a fuss: thanks for using it !

(Happiness can be found in counting the little things!)

ARG !!!  Link to wrong thread !!!  Brilliant.  (As in a "verbal irony", although leaning into downright sarcasm.)

Let's try that again:  the simple magic in this new thread of discussion.

[Em Heppler]

It worked! Thank you for sharing this. My tiddlers were getting way too long. This is an outstanding way to transclude.

Thanks again!

[Charlie Veniot]

Oh good!  Sorry for flubbing the first link.

I also make fairly heavy use of Modals.

In the same way as for the drop down DetailsWidget, I create modal links via transclusion too.  In my ADHD Slice'n Dice TiddlyWiki, look for the tiddler called "fLm".  Transcluding any tiddler with fLm as the transclusion template will give a link that opens that tiddler as a modal.  (In more recent TiddlyWiki projects, I've modified fLm to have two nice little icons instead of the text being the link: one icon that opens the tiddler as a modal, and another icon to open the tiddler in the story river for editing.  A little too messy to discuss that right now.  Maybe later?)

DetailsWidget and Modals are cognitive life-savers for this kid.

Cheers !

[Mohammad]

With all the pros of other tools, I don't know why​ I stick to my gun (Tiddlywiki).

One reason is I love it because it is mine!

It is not on the cloud! It is on your own machine! It is yours!

You can do many customization! No need to ask others to allow you to do that!

You can form it in many ways! It is yours!

So, I watch these types of clips every now and then: Log carving robot and Automatic Hydroponic. Filled with envy of their competence I sometimes think "One day I will do that too".... but I know it's a lie :-(

BUT I do more or less master TW. I can actually create things that few people in the world can. Pretty useful things, at that. 

I love TW.

<:-)

[S²]

It is very powerful, high customizable, one file on my pc and has a brilliant community to get things running!

Thanks to all!

TiddlyWiki is the second most flexible format / tool after plain text, it’s like a self-contained Unix-like system.

[Suzanne McHale]

I have tried other wikis over the years, but TW is the one I keep coming back to! I am not a programmer, but have managed to puzzle out a few operations for my own use. Makes me feel a little accomplished. I do like to use TW in its most basic and convenient format - a single file in the browser - and hope it will remain usable like this for a long time yet.

[Suzanne McHale]

Also meant to add that the TW community is very helpful and friendly!

[Mohammad Rahmani]

I love Tiddlywiki because of its unique community!

Yes, the more you put into it the better it gets, it is like a workshop where you can customise your tools according to the job and there is a community to share and discuss the tools they have created. I type this on a "Unix-like" system because after many years working on Windows I realised it's limitations which lie deep within it's design philosophy - I never looked back abandoning Windows and I think the same for Tiddlywiki - I am the only limitation which is the way it is supposed to be.   

[Jon Light]

"I never looked back abandoning Windows and I think the same for Tiddlywiki"  - hmm that didn't sound right ! Perhaps I should have written "I never looked back migrating to Ubuntu and I think the same for Tiddlywiki" :-)
