Technically, TiddlyWiki is a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-page_application. However, describing TiddlyWiki is really a problem of *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use%E2%80%93mention_distinction* <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use%E2%80%93mention_distinction>, an example of which is *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haddocks%27_Eyes* <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haddocks%27_Eyes> in Lewis Carroll's "Through The Looking Glass", in which Alice and The White Knight have a conversation about the *complicated terminology distinguishing between the song, what the song is called, the name of the song, and what the name of the song is called*. In the past, I've described it as a *"**Personal **Portable **Programmable **Platform for People" *(I like alliteration). I've also described it by saying *"Own it like a document, use it like a website"*, and borrowing the Sirius Cybernetics marketing division's description of a robot from Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" : *"Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun To Be With!"* -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
