    Sell me on this: why would I use TiddlyWiki instead of Notion or Obsidian or Org Mode, etc.? And what kinds of things is it not good for?

    I’m asking seriously. I’ve seen it mentioned here on HN enough times that obviously a whole community of people think it’s great. I don’t know much about it other than that it looks clever. Have I been missing the best thing since sliced bread?

      IMHO, it's dependability. It's easy and flexible because I can set it up as a web service or use it offline. For the average reader of HN, it takes probably 10 min to set it as web service with npm and reverse proxy + SSL and then you can use it from any device. With a little CSS it can be beautiful and with plugins you can have a connection graph similar to Obisidian. Once it runs, then I don't need to worry about updating it every other hour because of bug fixes and compatibility breaks. And I know it will be there for the next 20+ years.
