TiddlyWiki
Non-linear personal wiki and web notebook in a single HTML file
TiddlyWiki is a self-contained personal wiki and non-linear web notebook implemented in JavaScript. It can run directly in a web browser as a single HTML file, or be deployed using Node.js for more advanced multi-user and automation scenarios.
Key Features
- Single-file wiki that can be opened and used directly in the browser
- “Tiddlers” (small pages/notes) with powerful linking and transclusion for non-linear writing
- Highly customizable UI and behavior via built-in WikiText, macros, and plugins
- Tagging, search, filtering, and flexible navigation for personal knowledge management
- Node.js-based server mode for hosting, building, and automated publishing workflows
Use Cases
- Personal knowledge management (notes, journals, research, Zettelkasten-style linking)
- Team or personal documentation and lightweight wikis
- Offline-first portable notebooks stored and shared as a single file
TiddlyWiki is well-suited for users who want a durable, hackable wiki that can live as a file or be hosted as a Node.js application. Its plugin ecosystem and deep customizability make it adaptable to many note-taking and documentation workflows.
