Need a better Wiki - August 2007

Posted by JohnP 08/17/2007 at 16:11

Ok, I’ve been looking for a replacement for this TiddlyWiki solution that I’ve been using for 2 years. There are many good things about this tool and a few bad.
The Good

  • Easy to use
  • Everything is stored in a single .HTML file
  • Simple Wiki Syntax
  • Search
  • Journals
  • Tags
  • No database backend

The Bad

  • HUGE file – over 210KB today
  • JavaScript isn’t split from the main HTML file
  • No remote updates allowed, only local file access allows edits
  • Everything is stored in a single .HTML file
  • Limited scalability
  • No multiuser capability
  • JavaScript for everything? Perl/Ruby would be better.
  • No images, limited format control
  • No database backend
    ‘’The Replacement Candidates’’
  • ServerSideWiki – a take-off from TiddlyWiki
  • LesserWiki – - a take-off from TiddlyWiki
  • SoloWiki – a take-off from TiddlyWiki
  • Typo – RoR-based wiki
  • MediaWiki
