I read about this swiss knife for some time ago. Last week, after reading about it again, I wanted to give it a chance and it became one of my favorite tools in my laptop. TiddlyWiki is a single file, personal wiki application. No setup is required, you just download the single empty html file and you start using it. Very cool to edit and use.
Before TiddlyWiki, my desktop was full of with files named like links.txt, blog.txt, todo.txt, bla ba.txt. I was taking notes related to work and things I didn’t want to forget in such files. Now TiddlyWiki is acting as my personal agenda for collecting such data into a unique place. There is no more redundant memo files on my desktop. It has a simple&powerful search facility which helps you easily access the thing you are looking for. Also since it works on browser, I add html links to the documents on my laptop, or webpages when I want to access them directly. For instance I have some ebooks in pdf, chm or html format. Before Tiddlywiki I was navigating to the directories holding them and then open. But since they were distributed over different directories I had to first remember where they were located before navigation. Now I add links to the frequently used documents or web sites on TiddlyWiki and have just a single entry point to access them.
