Christopher, Others can give a more technical origins story, but to me TiddlyWiki is the framework. It is a platform in its own right and relies on broad standards of HTML and Javascript.
When incorporating Javascript you need to be aware of the way tiddlywiki works because its efficient update propagation to the whole wiki when a change occurs is what gives tiddlywiki power to a developer and user. Because of this use of standard software standards plus a set of mechanisium in many cases its possible to plug in many alternative technologies, both in single file files and even more so on Node JS server implementations. A key thing to remember is most of tiddlywiki is totally visible even within a single empty.html, by learning how to navigate the internals of tiddlywiki it becomes self documenting and you can follow a current function to learn how its done and clone and build a new new and novel solution. A piece of advice to New users and javascript writers is as a platform or framework much can be achieved already tiddlywiki without resorting to new Javascript code. I believe the key input needed by javascript coders is filling gaps in functionality or performance when needed or creating engines for complex computations. Fortunately open source projects in javascript or HTML can be and have being, "ported" into the tiddlywiki frame work successfully, and this makes use of other open source communities efforts. I feel tiddlywiki is about both niche and general solutions but I have adopted it as my development environment of choice on top of which I can build anything including tools to build TiddlyWiki's or websites and apps.
