TiddlyWiki - Awesome Note Taking
A few weeks back on the
LottaLinuxLinks podcast various note taking apps were
discussed. They sounded all OK ranging from a simple bash script to full blown
postit note programs. None of them really got me excited enough to actually
try them out. However, in a later podcast Dave mentioned
TiddlyWiki. TiddlyWiki
is a single HTML file that uses javascript (as far as I can tell) to let you
edit and save your notes and entries. It tagged as
a reusable non-linear
personal web notebook but it seems to me like it could be used for much
more than that. I've only been messing with it for a few hours and it already
seems way more powerful than being just a note taking application. In my
opinion TiddlyWiki could be used as a simple blog or even a small corporate
intranet if used correctly. In fact, the TiddlyWiki site is using TiddlyWiki
itself. To get an idea of what it can do take a look at its list of
main features and also this excellent
tutorial. By the way, if you wonder how something was done
in a particular entry just double click it and you'll be able to view the code
for that entry.
Pretty cool stuff. I feel I must find a useful application for it just so I
can play about with it more!
