I have been looking for a way to organize my collection of programming links, resources, tools, local folders on my PC, etc..
And I was thinking of using UltraEdit or another editor like notepad++, to be the editor of this “reference resource” (saving everything as html ) and then the Viewer would simply be my browser.
It makes total sense, since I always have a browser open - by going to a bookmark, I have instant access to my collection of resources. But I’ve always wanted a way to also use the web interface to do the editing.
So if I come across some new resource such as a new third party library, or download a some PDF’s that I need frequent access to, I can just edit this in place, right square on the web page in the browser.
But I do not need a separate editor now since finding TiddlyWiki.
It’s basically just a local html file that saves itself when you make a change. But it’s got some mega-Javascript in the html which provides the magic.
I remember seeing this and making an attempt at it around a year ago but I forgot why I passed it by. I guess I thought it was “unrefined” or something, because of the way that you save the changes to itself. I thought it was clunky.
It’s become a very popular thing, with it’s own Google group. There also many people creating plugins for it, as well as customized versions with different layouts.
It’s almost impossible to explain this so that you’ll know what this is.
