Intertwingling the Tiddlywiki with Erlang

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

Explains extending a single-file TiddlyWiki into a distributed system using Erlang-style mailboxes, provenance tracking and tag inference; implements a clean-room JavaScript TiddlyWiki frontend plus an Erlang-backed messaging layer that lets tiddlers send queries and subscribe to updates. Experiments show Bayesian tag prediction yielding about 85% hit rate, while tf‑idf gives more useful search tags. Focuses on avoiding rebuild cycles (the “Groundhog Day” problem) via all-in-oneness and transclusion-based reuse.
