1 - I was looking for a digital "zettelkasten"... a way of working with lots of small interconnected notes. Although it seems very simple, other programs I tried seemed to involve some big compromise. OneNote and Evernote links are unidirectional... other wikis are visually distracting... Springpad's servers went offline... and so on. I found TW5 a few weeks ago and found it ideal for this purpose (among others of course!)
2 - Nothing has frustrated me so far. I'm not a programmer but I enjoy poking at things to see how they work (seems like a common thread amongst users.) I would have benefited from the documentation being separated into "the bare essentials you need to get started" vs. "the crazy number of other things you can potentially do with it". Looking back, the basic use of TW seemed more complicated than it actually is, simply because I was tempted to click in every direction at once, haha. 3 - I can pour my brain into TW without worrying about losing things or being limited in the future - this is the major appeal. But it is very "sticky" for reasons others have mentioned: the community seems to be able to find 3 different ways of solving any challenge... your data resides with you... it's very portable. In general TW is a great idea and well developed - many thanks to everyone here who played a role in that! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
