But NoteSelf implements a non relational database. This has many implications, the main one is that no structure is required. Each "row" on the database is a document that can have any arbitrary number of fields and any structure. Tiddlywiki follows the same principle, each tiddler can have as many fields as you want, the only mandatory field is the title, the others are optional. So each tiddler is saved as a single entry on the database Tiddler => database record No matter the structure of the tiddler or the size. > > And where is kept this database ?

Modern browsers allow you to store data within it, like a virtual system running inside your computer.

Something like dropbox, you keep a local copy of your files, which replicates to dropbox servers which in turn synchronises to your other computers running your dropbox client. So you have a local copy of your tiddlers inside your browser, than can be synchronised to an external database which can be synchronized to any other client that has access to the same server.
