TiddlyWiki5 gains new capabilities through a [[completely rebuilt architecture|TiddlyWikiArchitecture]] using the latest features of HTML5 and node.js. It runs natively under node.js, and can also use its own components to construct a version of itself that works entirely within the browser, just as TiddlyWiki has always done.

Learning more about TiddlyWiki5:

* WaysToUseTiddlyWiki discusses the various configurations in which TiddlyWiki5 can be used
* Some very rough UserInterfaceSketches showing where it is heading

Some useful tiddlers for feature testing:

* HelloThere
* TestingNewWikiText shows off the embryonic new wiki text engine
* ImageTests showing different ways of embedding images
* SampleData showing how JSON tiddlers are handled
* SampleJavaScript and SampleJavaScriptWithError showing how JavaScript code is displayed
* VideoTests showing how different online video formats can be embedded
* SliderTests showing how sliders work
* TypedBlockTests showing how embedded typed text blocks work
* ShadowTiddlers, including ViewTemplate, EditTemplate and PageTemplate

Technical documentation includes:

* [[Testing]] regimen
* Details of the CommandLineInterface
* Overview of TiddlyWikiArchitecture
