I’ve Got a Tiddler

March 13th, 2008 by Ian Delaney

A TiddlyWiki, of course. You can see my very small TiddlyWiki here or a more impressive example from Jeremy Ruston, who created the thing, at the main site.

It’s a sort of wiki - but wait, come back! There’s a few interesting differences from the sort of wiki software you might be used to:

(a) the whole thing is contained in a single HTML file - the javascript, the CSS, the data you’ve added.

(b) so you can download it and use it on your laptop or travel with it on a USB key. If you like you can sync that with an online version.

(c) you can use it on any browser - even the iPhone.

(d) it’s written to encourage short posts - Tiddlers - rather than the massive empty spaces found in the MediaWiki software and others.

Apparently, there’s some way to use it as a blog platform, but I’m still working that bit out…

    Thanks a lot for this… I installed MediaWiki for myself, just to mess around with. “Mess” is the operant term; it’s like using a chainsaw to shred cabbage for cole slaw.
