Chuck, Tiddler titles are a strings with an effectively infinite number of values. No need to ask about these as a limitation unless you have a specific numerical issue in the very large numbers. What in your needs do you feel would challenge this? For mathematically intensive applications

Chuck, As you can see from other answers it is similar to "How long is a piece of string?" - There are multiple tricks and optimisations, you can use a server and have external media, lazy loading and more. - Clearly with a really massive tiddlywiki you may need to start making

I'm the guy with 60,000 plus tiddlers. That turned out to be an issue with tag optimization. I changed my filters to not use the tag operator, and now my TW app works reasonably well even on a Kindle Fire. You might do a search on javascript abilities. A quick search suggested that javascript

Thanks TiddlyTweeter, but what issues could I expect from the browser side? On a 16-bit system there is a limit on how high an integer will go, it will count up to a 16-bit value. On a 64-bit system there is a limit on the value of unsigned integers, but it's really high, in the billions at

Ciao Chuck There is a problem with how your question is phrased :-) If you are a newbie then I understand it is not so easy to "get it" at first :-) What is the max number of tiddlers in a file? There is no limit per se. It depends on what you are trying to do. The main thing to understand

Sorry, I'm on 64-bit Windows 10 and 32-bit Windows 7. I can use different browsers like Firefox and Chrome and I'm currently editing a TW 5.1.19 on Tiddlyspot.com. So my question would be in that context. My intention is to use this TW file for many years. My current note file in Keynote is
