How to Replace TiddlyWiki

Overview

TiddlyWiki is a rich, interactive tool for manipulating complex data with structure that doesn't easily fit into conventional tools like spreadsheets or word processors. It breaks information into smallest semantically meaningful chunks called tiddlers that can be structured with links, tags, lists and macros. TiddlyWiki provides a fluid interface for working with tiddlers, allowing them to be aggregated and composed into longer narratives.
