## What it is
TiddlyWiki is a complete interactive wiki implemented in JavaScript that runs as a single self-contained HTML file in the browser or as a Node.js application. It is a highly customisable non-linear personal notebook whose entire UI is built from hackable WikiText.

## Use cases
- keep a personal non-linear notebook in a single HTML file
- take notes offline without any server or account
- build a small self-contained documentation wiki
- run a wiki as a Node.js application
- publish a static knowledge base to the web
- customise a wiki's entire interface via WikiText

## When to choose
- you want a portable, self-contained wiki that works offline in one file
- you need a personal knowledge base independent of any cloud provider
- you want deep customisation of wiki behaviour and UI
- you want a mature project with an active community

## When to avoid
- you need multi-user collaborative editing out of the box
- you want a conventional server-backed wiki with database storage
- you need a hosted solution managed for you

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: stable
- function: documentation, markdown, static-site-generator, cli, web-framework
- domain: developer-tools, documentation, web-development, self-hosted
- platform: browser, cross-platform, cli
