Welcome to TiddlyWiki5, a reboot of TiddlyWiki, the non-linear personal web notebook first released in 2004. It is a complete interactive wiki in JavaScript that can be run from a [[single HTML file in the browser|SingleFileApplication]] or as a powerful [[Node.js application|Node.js]].

TiddlyWiki5 is currently in alpha at version //<<version>>// (see the detailed ReleaseHistory). There is a RoadMap for moving to beta and getting to the full release. It is a great time to get involved and support the future development of TiddlyWiki5.

//TiddlyWiki5 and TiddlyWiki Classic are free, open source projects that depend on [[your love and support|HelpingTiddlyWiki]] for their survival//.

The deep internal improvements mean that TiddlyWiki5 is not fully compatible with older versions. Existing content will need massaging, while plugins and themes will have to be completely rewritten. The upgrade path will get smoother as TiddlyWiki5 matures.
