About TiddlyWiki
TiddlyWiki is a free, open-source personal wiki and non-linear notebook for capturing, organizing and sharing complex information. Everything lives in a single self-contained HTML file that runs in any browser, or as a Node.js application, and content is broken into small linked notes called tiddlers that can be tagged, searched and recombined into lists, articles and presentations. Its large library of free plugins, themes and macros makes it endlessly reshapeable for journals, to-do lists, personal databases and publishing.
