Also, if you’re still willing to consider TW5, I’ve run it successfully as the originally intended single-file approach, but locally on my PC using TiddlyDesktop…

And also following these simple instructions to install node.js and run TW5 in a manner that stores all the Tiddlers as separate small text fiiles

https://tiddlywiki.com/#GettingStarted%20-%20Node.js

I imported a small TW5 set of notes I’ve been building into the Node.js version and it easily converted them into the new form and stored each Tiddler as an independent text file. Testing showed effectively no difference in the operation of my little Wiki.

So right now I’m TiddlyDesktop because it’s so easy to use. But I have the confidence that if a the single file TW approach got too big, I could easily convert it into a Wiki where all the individual notes are stored on my hard disk as simple text files.

IOW, I’m finding TW pretty flexible and powerful.
