Using a TiddlyWiki is a tale of two cities:
Each TiddlyWiki document is a single HTML file that contains 100% of its own source code and data and is compatible with all modern browsers (and operating systems). Therefore, opening and reading a TiddlyWiki couldn’t be simpler. On the other hand, editing TiddlyWiki is a bit messy if done without a plugin. With a plugin, editing and saving a TiddlyWiki happens “in-place”, the same as with a Microsoft Word document (or the like). If I edit mytiddlywiki.html from my Downloads folder, I can save back to mytiddlywiki.html in my Downloads folder. Without a plugin, editing and saving a TiddlyWiki spits out a _clone of the modified wiki. If I edit mytiddlywiki.html from my Downloads folder, I can save mytiddlywiki copy.html, but I won’t be able to save back to mytiddlywiki.html. For that reason, serious users of TiddlyWiki should adopt an app or plugin which allows saving TiddlyWikis in-place.
