I don’t know why the TiddlyWiki developers don’t emphasize the ’’.hta’’ method of running TiddyWiki on Windows. On the website it’s described as some kind of weird hack, but it’s by far the easiest way to run TiddlyWiki on Windows and it works even on most locked-down corporate networks where you can’t install or run any kind of new software.

TW5 is fantastic and has the virtue of being powerful enough to do anything, but it’s basically like emacs—you have to be somewhat technical and willing to join a community and leverage a kind of oral history in order to figure out how to use it beyond the basics.
