Since discovering TiddlyWiki, I've thought of another way to use it - and that is for something I've been trying to do for the last year or so.
I started a LaTeX project - gathering up the huge amount of handwritten recipes that have been around since I was very young and probably before then, and putting them in an electronic format. I didn't get very far with the LaTeX document, partly because it failed to produce all the PDF at one point. Couldn't work out why so it got abandoned.
The last few months, I've been trying to work out a better way of storing and distributing this collection - then it struck me 2 days ago. What better than TiddlyWiki? It saves me from trying to write a Flask application to achieve the same thing and makes it into an extremely portable, interactive web-based cookery book which I can share with my family and friends. Who knows, maybe we'll start using some of the old recipes again.
