Love it

Use it daily and really appreciate that it's available. I do wish it supported the multi file format.

So far so good but…

Is there plans for adding the mind maps visualization feature as a plugin?

Great TiddlyWiki client!

I use this app every day to manage my Wiki. I love that it supports any file provider, and I use it with another app's file provider.

I look forward to more updates in the future. My wishlist:
* a visionOS app would be great (app works as a Compatible App today)
* widgets and Shortcuts integration

Simple, reliable, easy

This is an excellent way to easily edit wikis on iOS, and I’ve come to rely on it a great deal over the years. I’m extremely grateful this continues to be maintained, so thank you to the creator! TiddlyWiki is a versatile open source solution for all kinds of things and Quine is a big part of keeping it usable

Quine not displaying more than the first page of a PDF

I can only get Quine to display the first page of a PDF. That is really annoying and makes it almost unsuitable for my use case.

Flawless Performance

I use the app to handle several separate TW instances. All work as intended with no issues. Would definitely recommend others to the app.

My daily life in an app

It took me a while to get my head around Tiddlywiki but once I understood it I was flying. Almost my whole work life is on Tiddlywiki and this app makes that whole Tiddlywiki experience a joy to use, linking up all your thoughts, actions and todos into one linkable entity. Excellent. This app is great when you are in on the go, so far it has not let me down. It may not be the most prettiest looking app but who cares, it does what it’s supposed to and thats all you can ask for. Use this with the Tiddlywiki Desktop app and you have a great little note taker and personal wiki. Highly recommend.

Worth it since now a TiddlyWiki convert

I was enjoying TiddlyDesktop on my Mac but I have my phone more often when I’d like to journal. With Quine I can write whenever I please now and still store it in some format I can recall or review.

It works just like a TiddlyWiki editor should. I haven’t had any issues. I’ve been careful to let only one device run TW though cuz I fear iCloud syncing. (Maybe I shouldn’t worry though?)

I’m glad I can use iCloud for storage and I don’t have to setup remote hosting. Hopefully I can convert some science friends next to TW. I’ll recommend this app too.

Exciting

This app allows me to access, modify, and save the Tiddlywiki files I have saved on Google Drive. TIP ON HOW TO ACCESS FILES VIA GOOGLE BELOW

I'm struggling with how to "Grant Permissions", I still have the warning triangle displayed on my Wikis. Next to it is a menu with a friendly-worded document titled "Understand Permissions" explaining this issue. But I don't understand it. Internet searches on this issue did not provide further info either. I'm happy with the App functionality, but because of this warning and anxiety that the system might go sideways at some point I'm rating the app 4/5 stars.

HOW TO CHANGE "Location" FROM "iCloud Drive" to "Google Drive".

@Go to the main screen of the application ("Quine 2" should be in orange letters at the top of the screen).
@Hit the three dots in the top right of the screen, select "Edit" from the pop up window
@The Screen should now list "Locations" with radio buttons next to them. Hit the radio button next to "Google Drive" so that it turns green.
@Hit "Done" in the upper right corner.

This app also seems to be compatible with a Google Drive plugin app I use called "Tiddly Drive" which is free and allows me to access/modify/save Tiddlywikis saved on Google Drive within a Chrome browser. I reccomend it as well.

Amazing

This app has no right to be so good, but darn it is so good. Absolute gem.

Doesn't work

Installed, tap on + to create wiki on either iCloud or local storage... and nothing happens.

Doesn’t work for me

I can open a toddler file from iCloud, but clicking any of the links does nothing. A real pity.

Great app (and a feature request)

Thank you for creating this app, Chris. It enables me to view and edit my TiddlyWiki on iOS devices.

With apple silicon, we can now run this app on Mac. (This is actually why I found out about this app; I was trying to find an Apple silicon native app alternative to the TiddlyWiki desktop that only supports the Intel architecture.) However, the app won't open any file: whenever I click a file, the app bounces back to the file selection window and not opening anything. If Chris can fix this issue, I believe Quine 2 will become many people's go-to app for viewing and editing TiddlyWiki across Apple's platforms.

Great app for working with TiddlyWiki

The iCloud Sync is great, it’s simple and easy to use, looks nice, and I’ve never had any issues with it. The only thing that might be nice to add is more options for sync. I haven’t figured out, for example, how I could sync my wikis to a WebDAV server, for example.

I really recommend this if you’re a TiddlyWiki and iOS/iPadOS user.

Excellent Tool

I've been a long time TiddlyWiki user and use a wiki as a brain extension, holding my journal, a massive amount of information on my boat, and pretty much any document I need access to. While I used Quine for mobile reading of my wiki, Quine 2 on my iPad quickly became my editing and viewing platform of choice. Now that the wiki has its files in the regular device file system, managing images and documents has become significantly quicker.

While it may appear that the product only supports wikis stored on DropBox or iCloud, it's also great just on the device, backup up and shared via a MacOS finder window.

great

really solid app, icloud integration so nice. i wish tiddlymap worked with it :(

Response from developer

Hi - TiddlyMap works well for me - certainly in revisions since 1.2.0. Please reach out on the google group if you need help. Would love to know what is going wrong there - and fix it.

Unable to save changes

On my iPad mini, every time I try to save my tiddlywiki file it “jumps” out without saving - reload and right back to original file with edits lost.

Despite efforts, I am unable to determine how to load a wiki and then save to it from an IOS device - this is the sole reason for me to purchase Quine2. The instructions regarding Sandbox in or out are not designed for non developers.

Works good so far

Let’s me edit a tiddlywiki entry I have on my google drive, and I can edit it between PC and phone now, so app seems to be doing what I wanted it to.
