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?!

"Timimi" Extension and executable by Riz
Timimi is a Web Extension and executable for Firefox, Chrome and Chromium that allows it to save standalone TiddlyWiki files.
https://github.com/ibnishak/Timimi
This is an addon using native messaging, essentially handing over the contents to a webextension host (executable) which does the actual saving. Once installed, you can save the standalone TW from anywhere in your hard drive without any more interactions, like the original Tiddlyfox addon.

Individual cells can be edited on the fly. Row tables can be sorted by columns and column tables can be sorted by rows.
