title: HelloThere
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki

Welcome to TiddlyWiki, a complete interactive wiki in JavaScript. It can be used as a [[single HTML file in the browser|SingleFileApplication]] or as a powerful [[Node.js application|Node.js]]. It is highly customisable: the entire user interface is itself implemented in hackable WikiText.

This is version <<version>> of ~TiddlyWiki, a major reboot designed [[for the next 25 years|Future of TiddlyWiki]]. It is currently in beta (see the detailed ReleaseHistory). There is a RoadMap for moving to the full release. It is a great time to [[get involved|Community]] and support the future development of ~TiddlyWiki.

//~TiddlyWiki is a free, open source project that depends on [[your love and support|HelpingTiddlyWiki]] for its survival//.

On this site, unless noted otherwise, "~TiddlyWiki" refers to the new version 5, and "~TiddlyWikiClassic" is used to identify the older version.

The deep internal improvements mean that the new version of ~TiddlyWiki is not fully compatible with ~TiddlyWikiClassic. Existing content will need massaging, while plugins and themes will have to be completely rewritten. The upgrade path will get smoother as the new version matures.
