   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

• 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 / 7 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 / 10 months ago

• Now that Google Drive is starting to limit, what's your migration plan?

  Alright. Mind if I check with you a couple weeks from now to see how this turns out for you? I've never heard of box.com. I'm checking out their website now. Source: 11 months ago

• What is everyone’s opinion on these demos getting leaked?

  You would be surprised how stupid Label employees can be, they even give stuff that is "confidential" to unpaid interns to post on their internal pages like box.com or their disco.ac pages. I've seen so many demos, instrumentals and albums posted somewhere public because they got someone to do a half assed job at it. Source: 11 months ago

• Copy of my laptop on my desktop

  I often use dropbox, box.com or google drive for files/folders I want the share between my Ubuntu laptop and server, I also do the same with a local server drive - the cloud services are handy if I'm not at home and need to access something. Source: 11 months ago
