TiddlyDesktop VS WikidPad

I hear you on this problem and it took a while to find a solution I like. Ultimately, I went with https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyDesktop and file syncing tool of my choice. It seems to work well, but you can have issues if you simultaneously edit.

[Tiddlywiki desktop](https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyDesktop/releases/latest). Extract the folder and run nw.exe. Doesn't need to be installed, it just runs. Put it in My Documents or somewhere.

I'm trying to install this https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyDesktop/releases (the Fourteenth release for Linux64) and I just can't seem to get it running. It's not a conventional installation, it just requires unzipping and then running nw as an executable. The problem is that I get the following error:

One question I have is: How do I find what the apt install XXXX command is supposed to be for each program I'm installing, for example, the program I mentioned (TiddlyDesktop, https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyDesktop/releases/tag/v0.0.14)

MoinMoin [wikipedia link] uses flat files, so does WikidPad as a personal wiki.

For an individual, I used to use WikidPad and quite like it.

There also are "serverless" wikis, like http://tiddlywiki.com/ (can be run as a standalone desktop app - see in the bottom, or Wiki on a Stick, or WikiPad

Details I didn't include but should have (I wasn't sure I'd have any replies at all... I should have had more faith, sorry)

It's a bit of a ramble, sorry about that.

MSTOICAL[0] is a fork of an old C based Forth variant, it took some help from the HN community[1] to get it to compile in a modern 64 bit environment, for which I am very thankful. However, it uses AutoConf to configure, build, install, etc... and I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove all of that logic. (C isn't my primary language, I'm willing to learn that, but adding AutoConf on top of it was too much)

In order to work on that, I was willing to switch to Linux (Ubuntu)... got everything up and running for the most part, but then I couldn't access WikidPad[2], my local Wiki with my appointments, etc. I missed a doctors appointment because of that, so went back to Windows.

The issue is around wxWindows changing the names of variables in some calls. On Windows, you just download an EXE installer and you're good to go. I couldn't figure it out because the program seems to be unwilling to support newer Python versions. (I could be wrong)

I don't understand why they felt the need to make breaking changes to wxWindows, and the python is a bit too dense for me.

So finally... I'm back in Windows 10, and decided to try to craft together a twitter clone with a bunch of weird ideas that I tossed out at 3:30 am in a twitter thread, and put into a more coherent manifesto.[3]

When it comes to organization I would recommend using a wiki tool. The interlinked articles in a wiki is super useful to build a web of information and help you not lose track of important details. Wikidpad is a great free desktop tool.

Wikidpad is quite functional. It's not the prettiest but it does its job. I don't know if or how you can implement images. But it's free and maybe worth a try.
