I've been really thinking about it a lot lately: although TiddlyWiki is my
goto tool for serious information/knowledge/content management, it isn't my
preferred tool when I do want to quickly want to write something down for
later TiddlyWiki-ing.
So I was thinking, whatever tool(s) I prefer use in particular
circumstance(s), I'd want some real synergy (?) between TiddlyWiki and the
other tool(s): i.e. they compliment each other, and it is easy for me to
copy content from one to the other, with TiddlyWiki being the central tool
for that serious information/knowledge/content management.
Although gmail, google calendar and google keep tend to be my goto tools
for quick jotting things down, I've been looking into the business of
quickly writing more elaborate content on my chromebook (my goto machine
for digital whatever, since I don't have a tablet and hate using
smartphones unless I really have to.)
So after a lot of looking around (I still have some more experimenting to
do), I think my star candidate is Zim Wiki for quick writing of things for
later inclusion in a TiddlyWiki for some serious work.
- To me, a wiki is not a wiki unless it can do transclusion, so a
consider Zim Wiki "wiki-esque"
- So TiddlyWiki is the real workhorse because of transclusion and the
muscle of filtering
Early-going, I'm finding TiddlyWiki + Zim pretty sweet with "markdown"
being the cross-copying glue between the two.
Some notes about Zim:
- really fast *(because not all content is loaded up in memory all at
once ?)*
- *every page saved in its own text file*
- wysiwyg is nice
- has some nice plugins
- Might be nice for some things, but I'm mostly focused on just
content that fits "markdown"
- preference option: default format for copying text to the clipboard
- text, Wiki (Zim's wikitext), *Markdown*, RST
- has some nice plugins
- might be nice for some things, but I'm mostly focused on just
content that fits "markdown"
To copy content from Zim to TiddlyWiki, I'm pretty sure "markdown" is the
key to happiness:
- Zim's copy page text to clipboard in markdown format
- the TiddlyWiki Markdown plugin
<https://tiddlywiki.com/plugins/tiddlywiki/markdown/>, so that markdown
text can be pasted into a "text/x-markdown" tiddler
This is going to be one evolving story about "The synergy of TiddlyWiki + {
??? }. Maybe a video at some point.
Do you have a TiddlyWiki "synergy" story to share?
