What is TiddlyWiki

Basically it's a web site as a wiki in a single file which you can save virtually anywhere. It's powered by Javascript so all you need is a web browser (works best withFireFox ); no wiki server is required. And since the wiki style markup gets rendered into HTML you don't need Dreamweaver to create a web page. Users create chunks of microcontent called tiddlers; changes are saved from within the TiddlyWiki (and not from the browser) and backup files can be automatically created. Tiddlers can link to each other and contain each other and can be tagged.

like a standard wiki

• TiddlyWiki uses markup to format text.

unlike a standard wiki

with TiddlyWiki :

• content in small chunks ('tiddlers') rather than whole pages
• each tiddler can be tagged with arbitrary tags
• automatic timeline records date/time of tiddler creation/modification
• total control — all customization within single file.
• open as File to edit rather than a URL.

In short, TiddlyWiki edits and displays in a single place.
