twkwk VS TW5-Bob

Zim is a classic software, limited but usable, it's good if you do not use Emacs, so in that case I recommend it.

Tiddly Wiki might be less hard to use with

- Timini (https://ibnishak.github.io/Timimi/ + https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/timimi/ or https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/timimi/mnggafnmmhd...) or

- TiddlyD (https://github.com/bachmeil/tiddlyd)

- Twkwk (https://github.com/steinuil/twkwk)

And probably many others alike. Essentially they are local daemons who serve a local TittdlyWiki taking care of file saving, attachments etc. The interesting part of TiddlyWiki is IMO it's full-fledged transclusion support but it's far more mechanic than Zim.

Org-mode/org-roam/* in Emacs do MUCH more and are MUCH more reliable in time-based notes terms (lifetime of notes) but demand much more effort...

[1] https://github.com/qbit/widdler (a go get -u suah.dev/widdler && widdler -gen && widdler -http "localhost:9090" away) or https://ibnishak.github.io/Timimi/ + https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/timimi/ or https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/timimi/mnggafnmmhdoplbffagjihajeeikgbcg or again https://github.com/bachmeil/tiddlyd or again https://github.com/steinuil/twkwk

I have a similar project but it just serves a single wiki via http and doesn't support WebDAV or authentication, and it's in Rust rather than Go. https://github.com/steinuil/twkwk

I also don't know what's wrong and didn't test any of that myself, but to add to the comment by /u/Scalytor I would also suggest having a look at https://github.com/OokTech/TW5-Bob which has better integration with the file system and what is in the browser as it tries to solve it somewhat “ Two-way real-time syncing between the browser and file system”. This would improve the reliability between the two machines, and what has changed on the file system to be reflected in the browser.

Another more involved option is to use bob tiddlywiki: https://github.com/OokTech/TW5-Bob

The main openly available solution for multi-user TiddlyWiki is Bob.

You love to see it!

I use my TW every day like a madman (https://philosopher.life/#⧖). I'd like to submit https://github.com/OokTech/TW5-Bob as a powerful (though perhaps not as simple) alternative. That's what most of my household uses (one is aiming to switch over soon).

If you are a small group, you can use tiddlywiki together in realtime with the BOB addon but I'm not sure how well it will perform - https://github.com/OokTech/TW5-Bob

What you could do is create a wiki for someone, encrypt it and give them the password. Then you could merge their wiki into a bigger one. Maybe it's possible with tiddlywiki on node.js ? I'm almost certain you could do it with TW5-Bob

The main things you can try that I can name without thinking much are: * TiddlyWiki on node.js (requires node.js which is just 1 exe file with well TiddlyWiki module) * TiddlyServer (which again requires node.js because now it is distributed as a module) * TW5-BOB (it has an EXE variant too)

It's hard to find a good solution since the main Tiddlywiki is built as a single-user rather than multi-user solution. But these two tools may help now or in the future since they are being developed. (I can't definitively answer since I'm not super familiar with either).

There's a Noteself setup of Tiddlywiki (https://noteself.org/) that syncs with a database and has revision history. You click on the upper right corner of a tiddler to access revision history. The revision UI's not very intuitive to start and I'm not sure how making a public site with revision history available would work though. It also is on version 5.1.21 rather than 5.1.23 of Tiddlywiki, though maybe the maker plans to upgrade in the future. You could ask here https://forum.noteself.org. I just started using it so I'm not super familiar with it.

TW5 Bob https://github.com/OokTech/TW5-Bob is being built to serve one or more Wikis for multiple people, but I don't know that they have revision history (I could be mistaken).
