Not using a tool with that name lmao... Come on FOSS, stop these hokey names that turn people off. Imagine trying to recommend "tiddlywiki" to a friend with a straight face.

However, as I discovered to my cost, TiddlyWiki has never had a strong “start here,” because it is not tailored to one specific task. Obsidian, by comparison, has the advantage of a clear vision of what it does. TiddlyWiki bewilders you with options at first because it hasn’t been designed to be sold. The community focus is on adapting it to different use cases.
So I’m going to take the advice in this explainer and use TiddlyDesktop while mentioning that there are plenty of other arrangements. It is, after all, just HTML and JavaScript. Let’s get started…
You wrote this part twice in your post.

No, it's done the rounds for a bit and is now part of our instance's emojis. I don't know who made it.

I've actually been using TiddlyWiki for years as a sort of JobWiki. I went with it because it doesn't require any special software, just a web browser, it's stored locally, and it's relatively easy to use. It hangs out on our network so it's easily accessible by my workmates or me, it works fairly well and I've probably not even scratched the surface of what it can do. I'd like to use Obsidian instead, BUT I think that's a bridge too far for some people that aren't tech saavy.
