@danj Since it looks like running TiddlyWiki on node.js would result in my “tiddlers” (there’s a word that’ll take getting used to 😜) being plain text files in the filesystem, I could index them with DEVONThink and perhaps get the best of both worlds… 🤔

@danj And since @jack is my muse for this topic (I hope he doesn’t mind), this old post of his mentions:

I’m thinking TiddlyWiki could be my notebook, while DEVONThink is both my filing cabinet and “junk drawer”. Since DEVONThink’s strength seems to be in search, it should be good at both the latter use cases.

@danj DEVONthink can work really well for any of those tasks. I never enjoyed writing in it, so it never caught on for me as a notebook. TiddlyWiki is weird and fun, which are things I always fall for, but it can take a minute to get one’s head around. Once (or if) that happens, I think it’s hard to beat. It’s also easy to borrow other people’s work (by saving a copy or dragging and dropping individual tiddlers) and that makes it fun to learn. Kind of like the old web.

@jack Have you tried v3 of DT, it was a huge difference to me and it’s currently the most used application for my work (+ BBEdit, Ulyssses and Marked)

@jemostrom Yes, v3 was (is) a great upgrade to the aging v2. I feel a little guilty that I really only use DTP as a glorified Finder replacement. But it’s a damn good glorified Finder replacement :)
