What is TiddlyRoam?
TiddlyRoam is your open source external brain. TiddlyRoam allows you to quickly create your own wiki. You can add fragments of thoughts and findings whenever they come to you. TiddlyRoam will link them and help you spot the patterns. The project aims to provide a free and open source alternative to the popular Roam.
TiddlyRoam is a TiddlyWiki with bi-directional links and graph maps.
Bi-directional links: This means when you are on page ‘Example Page’, you can see not just all the pages that ‘Example Page’ links to, but also all pages that link to it. This leads to what Roam calls ‘networked thought’. It really is something that you need to experience to appreciate.
Graph maps: This helps you visualise all the pages you have made and how they link together.





Comments and Reviews
Lofty concept, but dismal instructions. Apparently, you either know how to use it or you don't. There is absolutely zero documentation available to get you started. Just 3 lines:
"Download tiddlyroam.html Download TiddlyDesktop Open tiddlyroam.html in TiddlyDesktop:
The mystery which remains absolutely unexplained is HOW!? How do I "open tiddlyroam.html in TiddlyDesktop"? Especially on Linux.
The 'community' link just leads to JK's GitHub page with the same "instructions" repeated there. There is no other documentation available.
Why do you use Linux if you can't even open Tiddlyroam?
"Add wiki file" - It's the first thing in the toolbar.
Tiddlywiki can give you a good walk through. It's very similar
Complicated, I can’t actually see what it’s for. I prefer easier programs like Vym or Minder for creating mindmaps in a simple way.
Simple and nice, and let you own the data. Almost perfect for non-hierarchical and non-linear note taking.
Is it possible to use markdown files for wiki pages?
