There is a "note taking tools" boom recently, roam research, obsidian, logseq, craft and so on...
But after trying these tools, I still prefer tiddlywiki.
- A note is a card (named tiddler in tiddlywiki). Comparing to other tools, it is most like an index card.
- It comes with journal function
- It comes with link and backlink support
- The stroll version can make backlinks more similar with other tools
- Elegant tag support
- Macros can be used to list all cards of a tag, no need to search every time
- Notes can be customized with fields, which can be used as a simple database
- For example, for each page I see that is worth reading and taking notes on, I create a card and add a custom field URL, the value of which is the URL of the page
- Give the card a tag, such as
link
- Adding a little macro code to the link card will show the title and URL of all the tags with the link.
-
Stroll version also supports a two-column "story flow", which allows you do the step in zettelkasten to associate current notes with others
- The left column is the current card
- The right column allows you to search for all the cards you want to associate with
- Rich plugins
- If you have programming skills, you can even write your own plugins
Note: Stroll is customized tiddlywiki supports bi-directional link, link rename like roam

This very morning I was just trying to remember where I'd read about backlinks in Tiddlywiki, glad I stumbled across this.
