wikidPad

What do you like best?

This application is a cross between a Wiki and a digital notepad which allows organizing and storing information in a very particular way, which has to do with the inclusion of texts, hypertexts, digital documents and links, which can be interconnected through WikiWords. WikiWords are words that combine uppercase letters with lowercase letters. The application offers an editing / visualization duality, where you can edit text using symbols such as * Text *, _Text_, ++ Text, among others and in parallel visualize the same text in bold, in Italic and as a Title, correspondingly. The navigation is another of the advantages offered by the tool. You can also export to HTML and browse by visualizing the set of built pages, like a web page.

What do you dislike?

WikidPad is a wiki-like outliner, and from what I experienced, it requires investing a not insignificant time to comprehend the basic concepts of the program. It is not such an easy tool to learn.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you want to organize your task lists, notes or anything else that you can leave in writing, in a structured and organized way, you can consider and use this tool. However, it is not an easy tool to comprehend the first time you use it.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

This application offers options that enable you to write your notes in HTML in a different way to edit and publish on a web server, which has its level of complexity and time of dedication. Once the WikidPad tool is mastered, it is possible to take advantage of this benefit and exploit it to the fullest.
