Darn! We lost the connection just as the potential user was about to explain what we could improve to convert visitors into community members. So…What problem was this person just about to describe? Where’s the visitor-to-community-member bottleneck? Gimme your best guess.

@Mark_S yeah that sure would be interesting. [image] Mark_S: They might even tell us that we’re doing very well – what objective evidence is there that we’re not? One thing we could measure more easily is how many community members who have met people “in the wild” who have ever heard of TW.…

[image] twMat: Contrast this with, say, Evernote which AFAIK is also an independent product in the same product category. Very subjective. There’s probably a whole world of people that haven’t heard of Github. Evernote advertises. It’s been in the news. It raised 20 million in funding (maybe …

[image] Mark_S: We can’t really make comparisons with products that have an actual marketing machine. True. But, tellingly, I can’t think of any non-marketed product to compare it to :wink: On the other hand, it is partly a choice that TW doesn’t have any marketing - and it is not wholly a m…

[image] twMat: True. But, tellingly, I can’t think of any non-marketed product to compare it to :wink: Joplin. [image] twMat: Does anyone know of any open source, “note taking” (or at least productivity) tool, for individuals, that is 15+ years? Emacs OrgMode (2003), Zim (at least 201…

[image] twMat: Does anyone know of any open source, “note taking” (or at least productivity) tool, for individuals, that is 15+ years? TiddlyWiki is the bomb. To me, nothing touches it for heavy-duty intertwingling and transclusions. However, there is a small subset of things (strictly hier…

[image] twMat: [image] Peter: I thought it was another in a series of self-hostable (running on a server) wikis, and so I didn’t give it a passing eye. Peter, that is very interesting. So, as it is currently presented, it invites for misunderstanding of what it actually is. This is a v…

[image] Mark_S: General location. Timestamp. Repeat visits (I know, not always available). Referral site if possible. Then same for downloads if possible. This would allow us to know how many people are visiting from each approximate country, and a conversion factor (how many people download fol…

There was talk of moving doco to the .org that could help with this.

I’ll throw in some thoughts. This is a niche within a niche product. That doesn’t mean it can’t grow more. But, the OP asks why someone would visit then leave. In a nutshell that’s my opinion why… Niche within niche. Which I love. That’s why I’m here. But, I feel like many people settle for a basic…

My thoughts having tried to be an advocate of TiddlyWiki in the workplace … these are not necessarily “fixable” but they are deterrents: When people see an “html” file, they do not immediately thing “locally editable document format”. They think, “web-server needed and read-only”. TiddlyWiki is su…
