TiddlyWiki Rox
I’m going to sound like such a fanboy saying “TiddlyWiki Rocks”. But heck, it does. So check it out at tiddlywiki.com. In a nutshell, it’s a self-contained Wiki within a page.
I came across it while doing research into all things AJAX and XMLHttpRequest-ish. To me, it’s yet another example of how boundaries are getting pushed in all directions in the “old technologies being used in new ways” meme. I realize it isn’t strictly AJAX. The fact that it dynamically updates is where it’s at. It’s impressive.
The goal I’m after is to implement what I was talking about in “IFrame Sub-Posts?”. The TiddlyWiki is a bit of functionality that I find inspiring. The one thing I would add to is the ability to upload itself to a server (which dovetails into my interest in XMLHttpRequest).
These are fun, fast-moving webdev days we’re living in!
