Have you ever had the feeling that your head is not quite big enough to hold everything you need to remember?
Welcome to TiddlyWiki, a unique non-linear notebook for capturing, organising and sharing complex information.
Use it to keep your to-do list, to plan an essay or novel, or to organise your wedding. Record every thought that crosses your brain, or build a flexible and responsive website.
Unlike conventional online services, TiddlyWiki lets you choose where to keep your data, guaranteeing that in the decades to come you will still be able to use the notes you take today.
The TiddlyWiki is the best software I've ever found for organising my ideas.
It's well worth spending an hour or so playing with it to see how it can help you. This will be time well-spent and will change how you think and how you organise your ideas.

TiddlyWiki gets a Gearhead rating of 6 out of 5 (it's that good).
Finding code that works flawlessly after just two or three years is magical enough but after seven years?!

TiddlyDrive Add-on for Google Drive by Joshua Stubbs
An add-on for Google Drive that allows TiddlyWiki files stored there to be opened and saved directly
To find out how to add it to your account, go to the project's info page: https://lordratte.gitlab.io/tiddlydrive/#installation-guide
I made an app that lets one edit TiddlyWiki files saved in your Google drive and then saving them back automagically. The page is here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tiddly-drive/oaphhjhbbabdjnpjpiliepphpmnioolo but I think you need to add it from the Google Drive web interface.
I even added an optional ability to save with ctrl + s hotkeys.

Disqus comments plugin by bimlas
Use this plugin to give your visitors the opportunity to comment on your tiddlers without changing the wiki itself.
Disqus is a networked community platform used by hundreds of thousands of sites all over the web. With Disqus, your website gains a feature-rich comment system complete with social network integration, advanced administration and moderation options, and other extensive community functions.
Locator plugin by bimlas
For those who use many tags or store many different topics in a common wiki the Locator plugin is a table of contents widget and an enhanced search engine that gives you the opportunity to filter results by related tags. Unlike table of contents, standard search and list of tags, this plugin offers these features in an organic, collaborative way.
Kin filter operator by bimlas
The purpose of the kin operator with examples:
- Finds related tags, related tiddlers in any depth
- Finds out where base tiddler originates and what other elements originate from it
- Finds the ancestors and successors of a family member
- Finds the "leaves" of the branch of the base tiddler in a tree-like structure (where the base tiddler is a leaf)
- Finds the super- and subsets / groups of a mathematical set (where the base tiddler is a set)
"TiddlyWiki5^2 documenting while learning TiddlyWiki5" by Iannis Zannos
A wealth of hints, tips and notes about using TiddlyWiki on Node.js:
TiddlyWiki is different from other wikis because of its principle of dynamically customizeable "storyline" based on tiddlers as basic units of information. That is, the user "composes" their own version of the webpage by clicking on tiddler links, which add tiddlers to the page in order to compose a storyline.
The Node.js implementation in TiddlyWiki5 adds all the advantages of flat-file markup language based type of site. This makes TiddlyWiki an excellent alternative to flat-file based CMS/webpage/blog authoring systems for the web.
Also very cool is the treatment of tags as menus everywhere.
