Hi Edgaras, I respect your decision. Tiddlywiki is a great tool, but people are different with different priorities and no single tool can meet them all. I hope you find joy in your new note taking system.
As someone interested in improving tiddlywiki to a point where people like you will be able to use it more comfortably, I would like to know more specifically what did you find difficult to accomplish. I am asking this because I see that your current choice is markdown and eleventy. Personally I do not see much difference between markdown markup and tiddlywiki markup. Given that HTML is the target for both, ultimately what markup we choose is pointless. Given that basic characteristics offered by markdown and wikitext are the same, and wikitext offers more possibilities (which are optional), I often find it interesting that users prefer markdown. You are clearly comfortable using terminal. So static site generation is not an issue too. Again, I am not criticising your choices. We are all knowledge workers and what works for us is what we ought to choose. I am merely trying to satisfy my curiosity. You seems like a person who would enjoy writing in a proper text editor than in browser. So I will leave you with a suggestion. Use VSCode and TiddlyBob next time you want to give tiddlywiki a try. Bob will update what you time in text editor almost instantaneously in browser, so that you can see the finished product. VSCode has its own snippet manager and tons of other useful plugins.
