I'm posting to announce Dido, a tiddlywiki-inspired tool for managing small databases in a web page. Dido is intended for managing small databases of information---an address book, a stamp collection, a shopping list, a video collection. It contains an editable structured database (stored in the page, tiddlywiki-style) and layers rich interactive visualizations (sortable lists, grids, maps, timelines) and filtering (faceted browsing and text search) over the data. You can find Dido at http://projects.csail.mit.edu/exhibit/Dido Both the data and the visualization can be edited using the WYSIWYG editor that's part of the document. As with tiddlywiki, you can download it and start playing, saving your file to persist any changes (we use the tiddlywiki file save code; thanks for that!).
Dido is based on our exhibit visualization framework; the page at http://simile-widgets.org/exhibit shows some examples of what can be created using that framework. Dido works well on firefox and chrome; it triggers certain IE bugs so has gaps on that platform. Dido is still very rough, But I continue to develop it actively and am happy to get feedback. The project is BSD open sourced. The subversion repository will be open for anonymous checkout in a day or two. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
