Ask HN: Is anyone still using TiddlyWiki?
6 comments
TiddlyWiki is an awesome experiment in self-editing, cross-platform files. A while back, it led me on search to find the best self-editing, encrypted file to store personal info in, that could be accessible anywhere. I eventually came across Message Vault [0]. It seemed to be abandoned by its creator though. The original domain name for it was available, so I scooped it up for the purpose of hosting the file. I'm not big on crypto, so I don't know how secure it is. It's on my to do list someday to analyze it more carefully.

Thanks for that messagevault link - looks like a nice stripped down version of the self-editing, cross-platform file idea, which I hadn't heard expressed quite a succinctly as you just put it.
I moved on to OneNote for personal / confidential notes (trading strategies, mainly) + EverNote for things I would like to sync across all devices.
(A negative answer is probably not what you were looking for, but I thought it may be useful to mention to WHAT I moved on to from TiddlyWiki).
But the idea was very cool, and I truly appreciate the "small is beautiful" design that it embodies.

I appreciate the reponse - OneNote/EverNote are orders of magnitude more powerful; I think they make more sense in a 'cloud world'.
I tried using Tiddly for a bit, but ended up moving to wikidpad (http://wikidpad.sourceforge.net/) which I've been quite happy with
Leo (http://leoeditor.com/) + SpiderOak are what I use. TiddlyWiki was a fun toy, but I could never really grok its true power.
Still using mine mostly as a link dump. Using tiddlyspace right now :)
I never really got into it. Now I use Evernote pretty heavily.
Is TiddlyWiki totally dead?
