Hi David,
Dido looks great. But it would be nice to have some more download
info. May be some kind of TiddlyWiki's download button [1]. The
default way: Browser menu: File: Save as ... fails. (FF 3.6.13,
ubuntu10.10) It saves a ~370 kByte file.

If you save it the TW way. Rightclick the link. Save Target as ....
downloads the needed 1.4 MByte file, which works offline.

===
I personally like the data structure editor (lens), and simple data
input mechanism.
