Hi Neve, - Roam-style bidirectional links and a map view - yes with TiddlyBlink and TiddlyMap - Daily Notes - also works with TiddlyBlink - Task management - TiddlyWiki has some solid task management features <https://tiddlywiki.com/#TaskManagementExample>, with items tagged as "task" or "done" similar to Roam. - Not sure what you mean by integrating external files. You can link to whatever you want, insert images, code, etc. - Also not sure what the problem is with inline images? - You mentioned TiddlyClip and TagSpaces Web Clipper, but just in case you want to explore other solutions, I like this bookmarklet <http://tw.boffosocko.com/#Bookmarklet%20for%20pasting%20content%20into%20TiddlyWiki> . - Regarding the mobile integration, I haven't used these but there is an Android app <https://tiddlywiki.com/static/Saving%2520on%2520Android.html> and iOS app <https://tiddlywiki.com/static/GettingStarted%2520-%2520iOS.html>. I hope that helps!
