What can TiddlyWiki not be used for?  That's why it is a hard thing to 
explain.

Lately, I've been describing TiddlyWiki as this:

Picture Wikipedia, but a personal version just for you.  And it is all in 
one file.  You just need a web browser to use it (type of device doesn't 
matter, don't need any other software), and you can keep that file wherever 
suits you best.  If you store it locally (hard drive, USB thumbdrive, SD 
card...), you don't need the web to use it.  It works in your browser 
offline as well as online.

Now take out all of the content in Wikipedia so that you have just the 
stuff that makes Wikipedia work (enter content, edit content) so that you 
have a clean slate, a blank canvas.

Now you can do with it whatever you want.

   - A replacement for post-it notes?  (Or notepad on steroids.)
   - An inventory of CD's or whatever?
   - A Personal Information Manager (aka PIM)
   - Organise your notes for a class or keep track of a bunch of things for 
   a project?
   - A "Getting Things Done" solution?
   - You want to use it as a way to write the different parts of a novel 
   and easily move the parts around?

As-is, you can do a whole bunch of things with it.

But you can use it to build anything.  Think: dBase/Access-type stuff.  You 
can build forms to put data/content in it, but you can create queries (with 
widgets and filters) to get stuff out if it listed in unlimited ways, just 
like a database.

Overtime and at your speed, you can build it up into a full-fledged 
personal database application.

I'm a software developer and systems analyst, so TiddlyWiki for me is a 
platform for application building, either just as prototypes or as 
full-fledged end-products.

TiddlyWiki is small, but it is the mightiest thing around for everything 
from the simplest tasks to some seriously complex ones.

The community of users have come up with some wickedly good stuff.  I'll 
share some of mine (which are all at various stages of quality):

   - My online résumé 
   - French-Acadian Dictionary 
   - Favourite Stuff and Projects 
   
   - Intertwingularity Slice'n Dice 
   

   - My current passion: BASIC Anywhere Machine 
   , a one-file 
   TiddlyWiki for not just BASIC programming, but for managing everything 
   software development life-cycle for BASIC a programming project.  
  - A nifty rig to teach programming concepts and software development 
  process concepts.

[Ste]

Welcome to the tiddly verse! 
You ask some big questions! 
Tiddlywiki is a personnel notebook. You can download your very own from 
tiddlywiki.com 

>From there it's a question of what you want to do with it. It's a bit like 
Excel, but for words. 
You can use Excel to do some sums or you can use it to track complex data 
in pretty colours. 
TW is similarly flexible. 

There are lots of plugins which people have written to extend the use so 
Gannt charts, project management, D&D games, textbooks, ebooks and more! 

if i need help or inspiration https://talk.tiddlywiki.org/ is the more 
active place to get questions answered.

Since you're hosting your own server, you should probably check out the Bob 
solutions, created by Jed.

Lisa,

If you don't want to use tiddlyspot.com or GitHub hosting where you can 
save from the wiki to a single file eg; https://anthonymuscio.github.io/ 
then if you have a standard php server I suggest using tw-receiver.

If you can host node on the internet you can also produce node servers of 
your own, but I am yet to understand how to make these secure.

Regards
Tony
