TiddlyWiki is an open-source single page application wiki. A single HTML file contains CSS, JavaScript, and the content. The content is divided into a series of components, or Tiddlers. A user is encouraged to read a TiddlyWiki by following links rather than sequentially scrolling down the page.
Tiddlers
TiddlyWiki content is divided into a series of components called tiddlers. Each tiddler is stored inside an HTML division that contains the source text and meta data in wiki markup. For example, the following could be the HTML source code for the beginning of this section written as a tiddler:
<div title="Tiddlers" modifier="John Smith" created="200811132220" modified="200811132225" changecount="3" tags="wikipedia section example code"> <pre>TiddlyWiki content is divided into a ...
Plugins
In addition to containing text, a tiddler can be a plugin with additional JavaScript and CSS to extend TiddlyWiki. As a result, TiddlyWiki is used in a wide variety of adaptations and uses beyond that of a personal wiki.
File saving
A TiddlyWiki opened from a file URI may save changes made back to the original file using one of the following techniques:
- the Mozilla File I/O [2] under the control of the UniversalXPConnect per-file preferences [3] for Mozilla Firefox.
- the Microsoft ActiveX FileSystemObject [4] for Internet Explorer
- TiddlySaver Java applet to extend Safari, Opera, Chrome/Chromium, and other browsers. [citation needed]
Applications
Although there are many TiddlyWiki documents on the Web, the majority of TiddlyWikis reside on personal computers and are exchanged on thumb drives and over email, in a manner similar to word processing documents and spreadsheets. It has been suggested that, as a single HTML file, TiddlyWiki is useful in corporate environments where red tape or IT resources might prevent the use of a wiki that requires a more complicated installation.[5]
TiddlyWiki has been used as a Software framework to build specialisations. SocialText uses TiddlyWiki as a part of their unplugged feature.[6]
TiddlyWiki can also be used as a personal productivity tool using the methods in David Allen's book Getting Things Done.[7][8]
History
The first version of TiddlyWiki was released by Jeremy Ruston in September 2004. BT Group bought Osmosoft in 2007[9][10] appointing Ruston as BT's "Head of Open Source Innovation".[11] TiddlyWiki was selected as one of the Top 100 Tools for 2007 and 2008 by the Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies.[12] In November 2011, Jeremy Ruston announced his departure from Osmosoft and commitment to continue development on TiddlyWiki.[13][14]
License
TiddlyWiki is free and open source software and is distributed under the terms of the BSD license.[15] The copyright of TiddlyWiki is held in trust by UnaMesa, a Non-profit organization.[16]
