Looking for a simple and mobile friendly wiki for a public website

[IvanPsy]

Greetings,

I want to create a public wiki about my professional topics, and I'm looking for the right platform.

The features I'm looking for my wiki are:

- easy to manage both on desktop and mobile (iPad, iPhone)

- easy backlinks, since I'm the only editor

- nice image and video embedding

- a way to highlight some pages such as About Me, Contacts, Resources, etc...

- fast note creation and upgrading both on desktop and mobile: since some notes will be long format and others just atomic notes, a complex creation process would eat too much time (one of the reasons why I'm not considering Wordpress)

I see many Tiddlywiki users have converted their Tiddlywiki to a website, but how easy is it for a non-Tech guy?

Of course other wiki suggestions are welcome.

You need to customize and build your own wiki by adding plugins and themes.

One very good theme for Mobile/Desktop is Notebook from Nico!

Best wishes

Mohammad

Hi Ivan, 

As tiddlywiki is an html file it is basically a web site out of the box. 

You only really need somewhere to host it. That can range from Dropbox to your 

Own domain name running a node js instance on your raspberry pi with lots of options inbetween. 

Possibly the easiest way to get a wiki online at the moment is the just announced tiddlyhost. https://tiddlyhost.com/

G'day Ivan,

I really like using TiddlyWiki for public websites, and I have a small handful of them.

Recently, I've started experimenting with a standard approach:

• TiddlyWikis have an added left sidebar meant for "non-technical/reader" usage of a TiddlyWiki (browse like a regular website)
• by default upon opening, the standard right sidebar is collapsed
• when the right sidebar is collapsed, all normal TiddlyWiki features become hidden (tiddler titles, toolbars)
• when the right sidebar is opened for "technical/author/admin" usage of a TiddlyWiki, all normal TiddlyWiki features become unhidden
• in "non-technical/reader" mode, I organize things so there is never more than one tiddler appearing at any one time, so that a non-technical reader doesn't get lost
  • I make heavy use of DetailsWidget, Modals, and whatever else available so that all content is shown and/or accessed from a single "Home" tiddler 

I'm refining my standard so that I have a customized "empty.html" as my starter for any TiddlyWiki.

To see two working prototypes (each using different plugins for left sidebar), check out:  my curriculum vitae, and my "Tifoist" project.

Regardless of your approach to your own website à la TiddlyWiki, you can always get help with anything technical via this community.  That said, I think you'll always have the best luck getting help with anything somewhat narrowly focused and that is quickly answered with either a small code sample or a lead to a plugin that might be helpful. Loads of friendly people on here to help, but I sense we are not fortunate enough to have the luxury of many retirees with plenty of free Tiddlerhood time on their hands.

Of course, even if you have a question that may seem like an overwhelming amount of effort for anyone to answer, lob it over !  You may be touching upon something wildly interesting that will nab somebody's interest (huge fans of TiddlyWiki in this place)!  If you are met with the sound of crickets:  break down your post into smaller and focused nuggets, and slowly cast each nugget to see how we fishies are bitin' !

Cheers !
