I love TiddlyWiki. I've been developing a highly non-linear document for some conceptual documentation with it at work.

If you want to see what you can really do with TW, or want to learn how, check out Grok TiddlyWiki (https://groktiddlywiki.com/read/)

I built a personal chess knowledge base with it too. I added a content-type that let me just paste in a plain-text representation of the game and it would display the game with an interactive board.

I have your book saved on my Tiddly server :)

Any chance you could share the chess one? That sounds awesome.

I am not the author of the book!

As far as the wiki: It's not hosted. It's just on my local machine. You basically just drop the minified JS library in a tiddler and then create a custom widget type and a ViewTemplate to automatically display the widget when the content-type is the correct one.

I used http://whatfettle.com/2008/05/TiddlyProcessing/ as the basis (although it's old) and the main docs on creating a custom widget (https://tiddlywiki.com/dev/#Javascript%20Widget%20Tutorial)
