    This is AWESOME! My biggest annoyance with TiddlyWiki has been the ergonomics of saving.

    I've been using TiddlyDesktop, but that thing has some questionable privacy because it's based on Chromium. One time, I had it running in the background while working on something completely unrelated, and I got a Chrome-style popup/alert warning me about a network printer being disconnected. I didn't even have Chrome installed on my machine at the time and it took me a while to realize that it came from TiddlyDesktop.

    But besides the privacy issues, TiddlyDesktop only serves local wikis. That's annoying when you have multiple devices.

    Also, pro-tip if you're on Ubuntu: the latest golang version in the default repos isn't compatible with this. You'll need to use golang 1.16 or later, which can be installed manually from the website, or installed via apt with a custom PPA (https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Ubuntu)

  • widdler

    A WebDAV server for TiddlyWikis

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • twkwk

    Barebones server for TiddlyWiki that handles saving

    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

  • tiddlywiki-remotestorage-server

    A helper server for TiddlyWikis with content hosted on remoteStorage.

    You might be interested in these:

    - https://github.com/fiatjaf/tiddlywiki-remotestorage-server

    - https://github.com/fiatjaf/tiddlywiki-remotestorage

    A TiddlyWiki plugin for saving tiddlers to https://remotestorage.io/ and also a server to fetch them from any public remoteStorage on demand and serve them as HTML to visitors (for sharing).

    I think my server at https://tiddly.fiatjaf.com still works. You can just open it and start creating your tiddlywiki with auto-save (it will be saved on localStorage by default).

  • tiddlywiki-remotestorage

    a syncadaptor plugin that saves tiddlers on custom remoteStorage directories

    You might be interested in these:

    - https://github.com/fiatjaf/tiddlywiki-remotestorage-server

  • tiddlyd

    Very simple way to get a TiddlyWiki instance up and running, using Adam Ruppe's arsd.cgi

    > My biggest annoyance with TiddlyWiki has been the ergonomics of saving.

    I wanted something that just let me open the wiki and save changes to it. Nothing else. No massive dependencies. This is what I wrote: https://github.com/bachmeil/tiddlyd You view you TW and you save changes to it, nothing else.

  • TW5-Bob

    A plugin that makes tiddlywiki a multi-user wiki on node

    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).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • tw-receiver

    TiddlyWiki Plugin - save to PHP server

    Looks good. I adopted https://github.com/sendwheel/tw-receiver a while back which is also pretty nice, but I had to disable most of its safety features as they false triggered too often. (Acceptable for a single-user note-taking situation.)
