Amazing app! I ended up changing my main website to a TiddlyWiki because I enjoy it so much!

Customisable in every way imaginable. Easy to use full set of default features. The more I use it the more I appreciate it.

I used TiddlyWiki several years but Firefox updates make it impossible to save changes properly (TiddlyFox no longer available) not TiddlyWiki's fault. That why I'm checking alternatives...

Just check this addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/file-backups/ It works almost as TiddlyFox but need some additional setup.

You may now use Timimi, which works (very well) both on Firefox and Chrome : https://github.com/ibnishak/Timimi/releases.

You may also use TiddlyDesktop (pretty cross platform) : https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyDesktop/releases. With this one, you can manage several wikis. Both single-file and folder/flat-files wikis are supported.

It is very cross platform and doesn't tie you to any software, though it does have some trouble with Firefox, though there is an extension for that.

What is TiddlyWiki?

TiddlyWiki is a single html file with all the characteristics of a wiki - including all of the functionality (including editing, saving, tagging and searching) and the style sheet. Because its a single file, its very portable - you can email it, put it on a web server or share it via a USB stick. It has a broad range of tools and an ever expanding plethora of plugins.
