Hi all

I am starting the development of my own wiki tool.
Aim to be the fusion of Evernote and TiddlyWiki

  • markdown native format

  • directory tree with limited (very less) payload files
=> those markdown files could be lossly related (not like TiddlyWiki to cook them as a set)
=> very similar to the concept of Lolinote

  • Hackable (Scriptable) 


The current spec (wish list) is available at 


Of course, if there's already something very similar, 
I would be very happy to save my effort for developing that.

(p.s. very likely with nodejs and/or Chrome Extension)

A lot of what you're describing sounds like running TiddlyWiki in its "server" mode: it runs with NodeJS, and keeps all the tiddlers as separate files in a single directory. Node hosts a local webserver which you access through your browser and can update tiddlers through that UI, or you can just update the flat files in the directory. TiddlyWiki has a markdown plugin, so you can write tiddlers in Markdown or have the flexibility to write in other syntaxes too. That setup is actually what I personally use for my private notes, and that allows me to commit the whole directory tree to Git, so those flat file changes are version-controlled too. Accessing the running server through the UI allows you to Save/Export the wiki as a single-file TiddlyWiki file, which is a great way to export different versions of the whole wiki, or give people a copy of the wiki without them needing to be able to set up a Node environment on their workstation too.
