As promised, here is a beginner's guide to getting started with ✨

I really like the spirit of TiddlyWiki, more so than Roam and Dynalist which I don’t use for privacy & human development reasons.
Feature-wise it’s similar to notes but rather than horizontal new-window, it’s vertical anchor-links. Worth a look for most people!

weekend project! tried to recreate @andy_matuschak's personal notes website: notes.andymatuschak.org
• bi-directional links
• transclusion
• link preview
• tagging
• also uses [[ to look through/create pages
• not-shown but working - live knowledge graph

Impressed how far you got so quickly! Honestly, if there were a great native editing experience for TiddlyWiki, I probably would have started there rather than rolling my own.
If only VoodooPad had continued growing…

Thanks Andy! Yes the editing experience needs a bit of tweaking but the metaprogramming approach (TiddlyWiki notes can modify the behaviour of TW itself) is quite powerful and fun to play with
Absolutely love your evergreen notes website, thank you for the inspiration!

I have good news: if you're asking, then probably nothing!
Stumbled on Tools for Thought a week ago and can’t get enough. Just learning as I go. Found some answers about native editing on google but difficult to understand the benefits without proper context.
