1. What were you looking for when you first found Tiddlywiki? My first serious use of TiddlyWiki was in 2008 as a help in coding interview transcripts as part of a qualitative research project. That resulted in "The Information Seeking Habits of Baptist Ministers <http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10477845.2010.508449#>." I used MonkeyGTD as the starting point for that wiki. It wasn't as easy to use TiddlyWiki for that purpose as I had hoped but it was better than spending hundreds of dollars for a closed source program specifically meant for qualitative research. The next large use came when I wanted to replace my MindMap of teaching notes for a class. I was beginning to think in very small chunks, which mind maps tend to favor, and needed longer textual blocks to deal with cognitively. TW came back to mind and TW5 has now made that much better. That wiki now dynamically creates the syllabus, student schedule, reading list, and other things which I export parts of to give to the class.
2. Was there anything about the program, the eco-system, whatever, that frustrated you nearly to the point of giving up on it? The fractured eco-system of TW Classic was difficult to get my head around and find parts that worked together for what I needed. I was also an early Wikipedia author so have always been dissappointed with TiddlyWiki's versioning system, or lack thereof. 3. What made you stick with the program? I haven't always stuck with it but come back depending on the project needs. If ideas similar to TiddlyClip continue to improve I will become a very regular use of TW5. The nearly future proof, single file, HTML format is the biggest draw. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
