TiddlyWiki is simple to get started with, where other software like MediaWiki could end up being overkill. It uses WikiText for formatting and supports HTML as well, while a great majority of software uses Markdown while stripping HTML compatibility, which I am not fond of.",
        "project-weaknesses": "Currently, I disagree with the philosophy of tiddlers; I would rather treat (content) tiddlers as whole pages than as the base unit of information. However, I am still new to TiddlyWiki, and I am starting to open up to the idea. I have not interacted with the TiddlyWiki community yet, nor have I witnessed its decision-making process, so I cannot comment on that, hence why I selected 'No' on the satisfaction question.",
