For me the key reason I like TW is that it separates ideas down to tiddler. Unlike a typical web page or Mardown based site with TW I don't have to worry about organization or templates. Just write, tag, or drag and drop and I have content. It is searchable, linked, customized, etc. And best of all able to be downloaded for offline!
So for me I have found two main uses: one off note taking as a single html file in my Dropbox. And as a static site generator for my home pages. I don't want to install a node.js instance on Heroku just to host my TiddlyWiki. But I am more than happy to use Node.js on my main laptop in order to deploy to my web server. In fact having the local server auto save is perfect for me to write content. Then I shut it down and tell TW to deploy the finished single html file. A big advantage of this is I can upload my TiddlyWiki generated files to my file server via FTP and not have to worry about PHP or Ruby on Rails or a complex database to use with Wordpress yuck! Plain and simple index.html served off my cheap web hosting. Plus it has all the interaction without round trips to a server and database. So, having more node.js support is great but loosing the static generation would be ridiculous. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
