TiddlyWiki: a reusable non-linear personal web notebook.

I have recently found an interesting wiki practice at:
http://www.tiddlywiki.com/

Amazing thing is, he has only used simple Javascript and DHTML to achive all these advanced functions, and it's within the web standards! I like the feature of "click & open" animation and "double click to edit".

If this is possible, we are getting more closed to use web browser just as a versatile thin client. Then we will have no installation, no weird-looking Java Swing widgets, less need for caching, massive distributed computation, more visual web interaction, etc. And also, as it has not any plugins. The data remains on server, which means that the data is portable! TiddlyWiki is an exciting example of pushing the technical limits bounds.

The only drawback of it is the flow of the information. The information jumps up and down on the page, that you have to scroll by yourself to find it. But I think this problem will easily be solved, perhaps the author is doing it now!
