In fairness, I use OneNote to a very basic degree. With that said, it's broken down such that OneNote is the application but I have many notebooks that can be loaded and unloaded. The notebooks themselves would be like having a folder on my PC with many TW files in it. Each notebook within OneNote would have sections and pages. So having OneNote open could contain 1 notebook or 50 notebooks.
I used to store my TiddlyWiki on DropBox, OneDrive, and even Google Drive. In fact, I preferred it that way (keeping it just a html file) because I had more flexibility keeping it up to date, hard versioning and soft versioning with OneDrive and Google drive version control on top of me having separate files with the date appended to the file name. It made emailing it, putting it on a flash drive, etc very easy. However, as things have improved with TiddlyWiki, it's become clear to me that certain things are better when setting up TiddlyWiki on Node.js. Additionally, I was really enjoying the while Node.js process and was using TiddlyWiki as an excuse to just dive in deeper. The problem I ran into is TiddlyWiki on Node.js felt like a lot more work to get running, organized, and then configured to how I wanted it. Additionally, I wasn't overly fond of starting it via the command line manually every time and had to spend quite a bit of time trying batch files and such to get it running. I settled on using Cmder and having a 3 batch file setup to double click an icon to start it and minimize Cmder to the system tray. Now realistically, I could at that point have exported an offline TiddlyWiki and tossed that on a flash drive or on one of the cloud storage media platforms but again, it just felt like more work when initially all I had to do was maybe make a list of say URLs and their purpose for something like a video game or another non important piece of data. OneNote was pretty much ready to go, so I could do it at home 5 minutes before work and then keep working on it once I got to the office. To be clear though, I'm not advocating OneNote over TiddlyWiki and in fact, I'd rather use TiddlyWiki than OneNote but I lack the necessary skills to be able to configure/customize it in a timely fashion. So for me personally, it becomes a great tool for learning and at some point, will most likely be a major part of my toolkit. I absolutely love how you don't need anything installed to use TiddlyWiki as just about every computer I've ever used has a browser. The biggest problem here isn't TiddlyWiki when compared to OneNote, it's me personally. The level of flexibility that TiddlyWiki possesses far exceeds my technical capabilities. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
