Hi! I was looking for Wikipedia without the server clutter. I do some writing and I needed an "encyclopedia" for that. When I first encountered TiddlyWiki, I was totally amazed, but didn't go into details. It wasn't until several years later when I was looking for a wiki for an unrelated project that I got into details and really dug in. It even got me to learn JavaScript.:D That it's light weight, offline and highly customizable was also a bonus. I also got my colleague interested and now we're even using TW at work. w
