Thanks Shay, I would find it easier to address the problems you raise with tiddlyWiki "couldn't use it for because it's rather static, requires revisions, and doesn't work well on phone " which for my uses, seems untrue.
Many conversations proceed ours about alternative markup/mark down, parsing, perhaps search and replace or the "text slicer Plugin" can sometimes solve this so let us hope someone has followed your path before. I know it is another step but I do favour a single tool (not tiddlyWiki) that can translate any format into any other including tiddlywiki and back rather that catering for every format in TiddlyWiki, though plugins would be acceptable it would only convert a to b and b to a.
