I have to agree it's been hard to convince people to give TiddlyWiki a proper try, mainly I think because of the experience for a new user. The landing page is confusing, saving/backing up your notes seems unnecessarily complicated. Ideally, there should be a regular static landing page containing:
- What TiddlyWiki is - A nice screenshot or walkthrough video - How to easily get started in 3 steps (download/create your first note/save) - Link to docs.tiddlywiki.com (current tiddlywiki.com) with a welcome page listing concepts to explore *in order* for people who have installed everything and are ready to dive in - Link to this community + Twitter for extra help A few examples: - https://www.gatsbyjs.org/ - https://www.notion.so/ - https://roamresearch.com/ I think this would do *a lot* to help grow the TW community!
