tiddere

A tiddere is a conceptual programming language and environment developed by Elias Krantz. It is designed to simplify the creation and management of personal knowledge bases and digital gardens. The core idea behind tiddere is the "tiddler," a self-contained unit of information that can be anything from a text note to a complex piece of code or data.

Tiddlers can be linked to one another, creating a network of interconnected thoughts and ideas. This linking mechanism is central to tiddere's philosophy, encouraging a non-linear approach to knowledge organization. The environment typically provides tools for creating, editing, and navigating these tiddlers. Functionality often includes features like tagging, searching, and a basic markup language for formatting content within tiddlers.

The tiddere system aims to empower individuals to build their own personal knowledge management systems that are flexible and adaptable. It is not intended to be a general-purpose programming language in the traditional sense, but rather a tool for personal thought management and knowledge synthesis. Development has focused on usability and the ability to evolve the system over time as the user's needs change. The concept has influenced various personal knowledge management tools and digital garden methodologies.
