Seems to like Firefox the most but there are add-ons/plugins for use on android and apple.

It has its own markup (variation of common text markup) and can use HTML. Everything is broken down to chunks, Tiddlers, that can be combined to create other Tiddlers. All linked by Tiddler title. (A very short description that doesn't do justice to idea.)

TiddlyWiki — a non-linear personal web notebook http://tiddlywiki.com/

TiddlyFox extension for Firefox :: Add-ons for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...dlyfox/?src=ss

I've been using TiddlyWiki to build my notes on building Epubs. Handy way to keep everything in one place. With Firefox add-on Copy HTML https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...y-html/?src=ss can clip parts of web pages and put in TiddlyWiki.

I find it pretty handy, just one file to copy if I want to move it to another PC or device. If I link to external images, one file and a folder with the images.

oh, another add-on people might find useful: Copy Link/Tab Name and URL :: Add-ons for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...nd-url/?src=ss

Here is an capture of an older version (newer TiddlyWiki layout different) he was working on:
I've tried using tiddlywiki's in the past and when they work they work well. Sometimes they jam somehow for me though and then you can't add more data and save it. Or at least that's been my experience. An edited epub that I can then convert to Kindle is a lot more reliable (IMO).
