TiddlyWiki is very flexible, and there are many different ways to use it. Here we're focusing on using it as a standalone file in the browser, which is a good choice for most users as it doesn't require any special knowledge or tools. For more options you can also run [[TiddlyWiki on Node.js]].

[[Video Tutorials]] are available, too.

! The 'works anywhere' method

{{Saving with the HTML5 fallback saver}}

! The convenient and fast method

Saving changes as described above is quite inconvenient because of the degree of manual intervention that browsers require. The following alternative method is recommended for everyone who is able to use Mozilla's [[Firefox]] browser.

{{Saving with TiddlyFox}}

! Other ways of saving changes

[[Saving with Encryption]] explains how to use TiddlyWiki's built-in encryption to protect your content with a password.

Add automatic saving and warning on exit with unsaved changes We re-use some of the existing syncer mechanism. It was already keeping track of changes to tiddlers in the store when working with a tiddler syncadaptor. Now it also tracks changes when there is no syncadaptor, allowing us to provide a warning if there are unsaved changes. 2014-02-06 21:36:30 +00:00			`modified: 20140206212022007`
