I have become a regular user of TiddlyWiki and have become so accustomed to using Font Awesome icons in Fargo that I wanted to incorporate the icons into my wikis as well.
"A free, open source wiki revisited" by Mark Gibbs, NetworkWorld
Interesting article giving the perspective of someone who has been away from TiddlyWiki for a few years:
Way back in the mists of time (actually, January 2009) I wrote about a really cool tool called TiddlyWiki, a “non-linear personal web notebook”. Fast forward to today and I just had an out of body experience: Completely by accident I found a TiddlyWiki that I started when I wrote that piece and it still works!
Finding code that works flawlessly after just two or three years is magical enough but after seven years?! And given that TiddlyWiki is written as a single page Web application and considering how different browsers are now than they were in 2009, the fact that the old version of TiddlyWiki still works is not short of miraculous.
"Setting Up a Personal TiddlyWiki Server on OS X" by Kris Johnson
Detailed description of setting up TiddlyWiki on Node.js on OS X.

For a new job, I decided to set up a personal wiki to keep notes. I wanted to keep it simple, meeting these requirements:
- All the data is in a Dropbox folder (so it can be automatically synced between machines)
- It must support Markdown syntax
After looking at the options, I settled on TiddlyWiki. I've used "classic TiddlyWiki" before, and liked its simplicity, but I was always a little annoyed with the weird steps you have to go through to save changes. The new version of TiddlyWiki includes support for running it as a real HTTP server, so you can use it just like an online wiki.
But it took me a couple of hours to figure out how to set that up. The TiddlyWiki documentation is not clear ("not clear" is a euphemistic way of saying "terrible"). So, I've written up these instructions in the hope it will spare somebody else all the frustration I had.
"TiddlyWiki" by Sander de Boer
Dutch blog post about TiddlyWiki

I'm allergic to websites that are highly dependent on JavaScript. I think that JavaScript has many useful applications to add functionality to a site, but content needs to be visible if JavaScript is switched off. I use the NoScript extension for Firefox and surf with pleasure over the Internet without spontaneous things happen that I do not give permission. I love JavaScript on a short leash. More crazier maybe I'm so excited about TiddlyWiki.

"Notizen mit TiddlyWiki systemübergreifend nutzen" by Michael Sonntag
A quick guide to using TiddlyWiki (written in German)
http://michaelsonntag.net/notizen-mit-tiddlywiki-systemuebergreifend-nutzen
Those using multiple different computer platforms (if only PC and Android) knows for certain: You would like to sync notes across computers and thereby be independent of any apps or services. I am concerned at any rate so and so I am constantly looking for the perfect solution.
With TiddlyWiki I found it mostly. As the name suggests, it TiddlyWiki is a Wikisystem. In contrast to all other wikis, TiddlyWiki is a single HTML file that runs in the browser and thus can be used on all modern operating systems. And because there is only one file, it can be very easily via the well-known cloud services (Dropbox, Google Drive, ownCloud) or synchronized with FTP or used on a USB stick.

"TiddlyWiki 5 im Betatest" by besim
Reaction to TiddlyWiki5 from the translator of the German edition of TiddlyWikiClassic.

There is little software that can still inspire me so even after years, as on the first day. This includes TiddlyWiki, the "pocket-wiki". The latter is because the Wiki completely fits into an HTML file, and this HTML file brings everything - JavaScript program logic, CSS appearance and the entire Wiki content as stored records. So a TiddlyWiki file is then sometimes happy times some megabytes in size, but just has the unbeatable advantage that it works just as fast file created locally in a variety of browsers.
