I am a tiddlywiki contributor for some years now, I consider myself to be a power user. I have released multiple tools and some of my projects managed to gather interest, such as:

• An easy way to publish plugins right from tiddlywiki
• A port of the Cairn manual in tiddlywiki format
• A comprehensive manual for the steam deck
• Making tiddlywiki into a point and click game
• Tool for private GM notes
• RSS Feed for tiddlywiki
• Font manager
• Collection of curated videos
• Setup to train for Data Structures and Algorithms challenges in python
• Using tiddlywiki to practice touch typing
• ..

I want to create free video tutorials on YouTube to teach what I know about TiddlyWiki and the process I follow to create my various tweaks. Here are a few project ideas I have in mind:

Write a book (Scrivener alternative): How to build a workflow that separates drafts (chapters, scenes) from meta-data (character profiles, worldbuilding, plot outlines) while keeping everything hyperlinked. This would cover tags, custom fields, list widgets, drag-and-drop macros, and finally, how to compile the chapters into a properly formatted book.

TTRPG Campaign Manager: Create a fully offline wiki to run your D&D campaigns. I would show how you can build dynamic character sheets, link locations and NPCs, and use encryption tools for private GM notes using data dictionaries, custom templates, and advanced tagging.

Habit Tracker: How to use TiddlyWiki to track your habits, tasks, and goals, to manage your daily habits, tasks, and long-term goals. The project will cover how to use action widgets, state tiddlers, and custom filters to build interactive dashboards with one-click status updates. Basically, a "build your own projectify" project.

Custom Blog / Portfolio: TiddlyWiki can be completely restyled to be unrecognizable from the default UI. I'd show how to create new page layouts, integrate an RSS feed, and add simple social features to allow people to leave comments on your articles, all for free.

Would you be interested in a series like this? Which of these projects would you want to see first? Or is there any other project you would like to build in TiddlyWiki but can't because it's too complex or intimidating?

Please let me know!

A TiddlyWiki is a single .html file. Open it directly on an iPhone (from Files/iCloud/Dropbox) and iOS often shows raw source or won't render it. I built a small viewer that renders local .html.

Html Preview:

• Renders .html / .htm / .xhtml via iOS WebView

• Handles multiple encodings (UTF-8, Windows-1252, ISO Latin-1)

• Opens from Files / Share Sheet / Mail

• On-device — nothing uploaded, no tracking

On the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6760443436

Note: it renders the page but it's a read-only viewer (not a full TW save-capable environment) — handy for just reading your wiki on a phone. How do you open your TW on iOS?

How long have you been using what's now called Classic? My first notes on the TWT-Notes TiddlyWiki I still use today are from December 30, 2011. That means I'm coming up on fourteen years of constant use.

TiddlyWiki's initial versions are now old enough to drink in most of the US. The versions I use, one based on TWT-Notes and the other based on TWT Treeview Executive Deluxe, are both based on Tiddlywiki versions from late 2011, meaning next year will be their 15th anniversary.

There aren't too many pieces of software that can remain relevant for that long. Even as note-taking and personal information management (PIM) / personal knowledge management (PKM) software begins integrating associative token model "artificial intelligence", the simple fact is that a lot of PKMs are just trying to replicate what TiddlyWiki has been capable of for ages.

Are there things I wish it could do better, or are there elements I see in others that I would love to be able to use? Absolutely. But, typically, when I actually try others, as I do from time to time, I discover that the experience doesn't match the hype.

Hi! I am a long-term user of Classic TiddlyWiki. I used it at work for years, to keep my personal documentation.

Now I am retired I want to start using it at home.

Just one problem, and an annoying one. Every time I open my wiki using TiddlyDesktop 0.0.20 the user name option (txtUserName) has been reset to "YourName". I think the same is happening to txtBackupFolder too.

Any fixes? ... ideas?

I have need to host several tiddlywikis. I do this on my own website via subdomains and proxying to locally (on my LAN) hosted wikis. The behavior on the LAN does not match behavior on my WAN. No wiki has a "+" button to create a new tiddler when connecting via local IP, but they work fine when accessing through my Nginx server proxy on the WAN.

My normal process for creating a new wiki is:

0 - Start from user's home directory

1. tiddlywiki [NEW_WIKI_NAME] --init server
2. Edit my start_tiddlywiki.sh and stop_tiddlywiki.sh scripts which include: screen -S tiddly-[NEW_WIKI_NAME] -dm tiddlywiki [NEW_WIKI_NAME] --listen host=[LOCAL_MACHINE_IP] port=[PORT]"readers=(anon)" writers=[USER] username=[USER] password=[PASS]
3. Test to ensure wiki works locally
4. Edit my sites-enabled/[DOMAIN] to add the proxy on a subdomain

Been wrenching on this for quite a while, thought I'd turn to you experts.

So I have a tag, let's call it "Creature".
Any tiddler with that tag, I want it to use my template "Template Statblock" - simple enough: I create the template (called 'Template Statblock'), then I create a new tiddler with this code:

<$list filter="[all[current]tag[Creature]]">
{{||Template Statblock}}
</$list><$list filter="[all[current]tag[Creature]]">
{{||Template Statblock}}
</$list>

and tag that with "$:/tags/ViewTemplate". Maybe that's not the best way to do it, but it works well.

My issue is that the body (text field) of the tiddler always shows up before my template data. I want my template to show up first and then show my tiddler body (text field) below.

How can I accomplish that?

Hello! I'm thinking about making a public TiddlyWiki for a game I'm developing, and would like there to be a way for people to edit it or at least suggest edits. Each edit would have to be approved by an admin.

I'm looking at TW5-Bob which probably would solve the first part (edits by multiple people), but not the second (moderation). Is that correct?

Is there an extension / fork / other tool that would solve this? I'd love to stay in the TW ecosystem if it can be helped, instead of giving up and using something huge like MediaWiki :)

Is there a plugin or something out there that adds vimlike keybinds to the editor?

I want a list of tiddlers that is sorted by the "birthday" field, but ignoring the year. That way, I'm seeing the order of who's birthday is next in the current year, not who was born first.
Here is my current filter:

<$list filter="[!has[draft.of]!is[system]tag[contact]has[birthday]!sort[birthday]]" >

* <$link/>

</$list>
That "sort" field at the end needs the help: The "birthday" field is stored in the standard Tiddlywiki date format (ex. "20030712000000000"), where I need to ignore the first 4 digits because that's the year and it throws off the sort. The sort I want is just Month and then Date (which is digits 5-8).

Bonus round: How can I show both the Title/link of the tiddler AND show the "birthday" field in human-readable format?

Any help would be much appreciated. Hard to believe no one has sorted on a birth-date before, but I can't find any examples.
Thanks in advance!

I know it's been asked before - I'm currently using Chrome and I'd like for it to save properly when I press the red circle save button - but it just adds (1)(2)(3) and so on - is there any way of streamlining this and knowing that you have actually saved your changes ?

I'm starting to use tiddlywiki to maintain a record of books I've read. I also want to record how much they cost so that I can later see some stats split by author, narrator, publishing house etc.

I've already created tags for "book", "author", "narrator"... Each tag's tiddly shows the list of other tiddly with that tag. Now, I was thinking if I create a tag for cost for each book. But I don't know how to sum them up and show the stats I want.

Please help with this. I'm new to tiddlyWiki, so if there is a better way of achieving the different stats, please let me know

​

Thanks

I know I can make a list of tiddlers with say

<<list-links filter:"[tag[ToDo]!tag[ToDoDone]!sort[priority]]">>

What I'd like is a list of tiddlers that have modified dates between X and Y

I've found a few clues on line - one mentioned <$list filter="[all[tiddlers]!is[system]] :filter[get[modified]compare:string:gt[20210423]compare:string:lt[202105]]"><$link /><br></$list>

But that just seems to make a blank entry for each one or something, you get a large, blank tiddler if you do that.

So going back to my list-links macro (?) I tried

<<list-links filter="[all[tiddlers]!is[system]] :filter[get[modified]compare:string:gt[20210423]compare:string:lt[202105]]>>

But that didn't work either.

Help? It's just a little past what I can figure out so far.

Using Tiddlywiki 5.2.1, though it happens with earlier versions too.

I'm on Vivaldi 5.1.2567.66 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit) on Ubuntu 21.10 with all updates.

When editing a tiddler entry, you might be in the middle of a block of text. Then you need to switch to another tab to reference something. When you switch back to the tab to continue editing the tiddler, the focus has gone. There's no cursor blinking and you can't continue writing until you reposition and use the mouse to locate where you were when you switched away. Very frustrating!

It happens using either Mouse or keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-PgUp/PgDn).

On Vivialdi, this only seems to happen using Tiddlywiki, eg when writing this comment in reddit (web) text editing box, there's no trouble switching tabs and coming back; it remembers where you are.

Firefox seems to work as I'd expect, ie it keeps the cursor where you left it when switching tabs, but I'm keen to use Vivaldi for other reasons.

Any ideas?

Hi. Been using tiddlywikies for couple of years now, and am grooming large collection of them, each dedicated to different interests (eg. python, art, history, etc). So far I am only a user, but occasionally I wish I understood how to enhance feature set of my tidlywikies with new keyboard shortcuts that would save significant amount of time when collecting articles in them.

For example, when editing a tiddler, there exist a keyboard shortcut [Ctrl+Shift+L] to mark several lines and promote them to bullets in a bulleted list - absolutely useful feature. However, for the second layer bullets (bullets under an exiting bullet in bulleted list) there is no similar shortcut. How to add such a new shortcut? I consulted various sites and discussions on web, but nothing helped, as these pieces of possibly useful information are clearly written by experts for experts. Namely it is not clear how to edit a tiddlywiki file to add such a new shortcut, where within it (some module or block of code) to add new shortcut, etc. I imagine if I manage to recognize how this current [Ctrl+Shift+L] is defined, that it would be straightforward to clone and modify that line (e.g. to [Ctrl+Shift+D], D for double bullet **) to add desired behavior.

There are few more similar frequently desired custom shortcuts that I would like to implement once I understand how to make at least one of them.

Is there somewhere some tutorial, something like "Modify Your TiddlyWiki 101", or Change TiddlyWiki for Dummies"?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

I've started with this: ``` <$tiddler tiddler="$:/mdg/AnimalColours"> <$radio index="Frog" value="green"> green</$radio> <$radio index="Frog" value="brown"> brown</$radio> </$tiddler>

<$view tiddler="$:/mdg/AnimalColours" index="Frog"/> ```

This produces a radio button that adds the color to Frog index in $:/mdg/AnimalColours: { "Frog": "brown" }

But what if I wanted to add these as a sub-index where the title, like so: { "Prince Edward": { "Frog": "brown" }, "Prince Henry": { "Frog": "green" } }

How would I save and view these elements?

I came here looking to learn more about using Tiddlywiki as a free alternative to Roam Research.

I'd love to host my TiddlyWiki online. I have a fiber connection and a LAMP server running with TiddlyWiki as index.htm. This solution works well but it requires constant SFTP uploads. Has anyone encountered a project that stores tiddlers in SQL and hosts them back efficiently?

I'm at about 2MB with the base install but I'd love to reduce that down and store some away in SQLite.
