TiddlyWiki

TiddlyWiki (http://tiddlywiki.com/) is written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

It has interesting interface features:

• clicking on a link don't let you leave the page, but inserts the topic text in the current page, in a kind of BookView way. This way the page becomes blog like.
• when a topic text is inserted, the page scrolls with it, and a "insert" rectangle animation is shown
• action buttons appear on mouse over each block
• backlinks ("references") uses search word colorizing
• clean history list (column) organized by day

There are several TiddlyWiki adaptations. The nicest by far is GTDTiddlyWiki ( a getting things done wiki).

And if that isn't enough, get this: if you save the web page to your hard drive, you've saved the whole application. There is no server-side program. (Ponder that for a moment.)

Yeah, TiddlyWiki is pretty cool allright. I'm watching that project with interest. If you like the idea of an all-in-one-file wiki look at the MetaKit based Wikit which has been doing this for years.

A couple of server side implementations:

• PhpTiddlyWiki
• TiddlyWikiRemote
• http://aasted.org/wiki/

the Zope based server-side implementation http://timmorgan.org/ZiddlyWiki/ also allows ex- and importing the tiddlyWiki for on/offline working
