   A great app yet a bit complicated

   Not too far ago, I invested several days into "mastering" and tuning TiddlyWiki. It was an interesting experience. I loved it on the whole and felt very enthusiastic about using it store all my knowledge. It's super flexible and use of tags, filters and macros make it unique. However, it's a bit complicated for mass adoption. Also, the extended use of its powerful features may make your computer tangibly slow.

   That's why I found "Obsidian", that's what I'm using today to store my knowledge.

   🏁 Competitors: Obsidian.md

   👍 Pros:    Very flexible|Browser based

   👎 Cons:    High learning curve|Could be slow

• Making a Company Directory

  Use FOSWiki. It's best suited for a corporate intranet, but has a learning curve. Source: over 1 year ago

• Software for an organization, think 'teams' and 'sharepoint'

  The best software around is FOSWiki, which is an enterprise wiki with numerous plugins, eg for taking meeting notes, setting up workflows, searching, appending files to wiki pages, etc. The only drawback is that it comes as a blank page, but there are foswiki consultants available for this job.

• Does anyone else create cooking "plans" before a large meal? What's that called?

  I host my own instance of https://foswiki.org/ on my home linux box. Source: over 2 years ago

• Recommendations: Standard Compliance Audit software

  Use an enterprise wiki with forms and workflows. A lot of work to customise the system, but if you use FOSwiki, you can use pattern matching queries to extract the standards from the text of a page (eg from documentation), having the advantage that whenever you edit the documentation, the standards (and questions) change automatically ;-) You should think about versioning, though.

• Software suggestions

  I use TiddlyWiki. It's a portable editable wiki that doesn't require a web server or web hosting. You open it from your computer, edit it, and save it. You get all of the linking that you'd expect to see in a wiki, and it's super readable and easy to use. Source: 5 months ago

• PWAs can now access the file system on desktop and both Android and iOS

  Hopefully, this will make it much easier for software like tiddlywiki [1] where the idea is to be as self-contained as possible. It has depended on various mechanisms to save changes to disk, but this may lower the threshold to use it and feel more streamlined [1] https://tiddlywiki.com. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• BASIC Anywhere Machine

  It is a single-HTML-file TiddlyWiki instance that runs in a web browser (offline as well as online), meant to be downloaded and stored wherever suits you best. Everything that you see when working in BASIC Anywhere Machine (everything that makes "BAM" work as an IDE and all BASIC programs) exist in the one HTML file. Source: 8 months ago

• TiddlyPWA: putting TiddlyWiki on modern web app steroids

  TiddlyWiki still works as intended: https://tiddlywiki.com/#GettingStarted but there are so many different clients to run on. Mobile or Desktop ? What OS? What Browser? This effort https://val.packett.cool/blog/tiddlypwa/ is remarkable as the mobile side of saving is not as robust as on the desktop side of things and there is a scaling limit on performance as the number of tiddlers grows. Also the syncing between... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
