TiddlyWiki producted the best demonstration of a Getting Things Done methodology (organize things to be actionable, display things under a given context, organize things by blockers) I've ever seen.

http://mgsd.tiddlyspot.com/demo3.html

This provides so many more features & organization than what a traditional Todo app provides.

The UX was great, but I didn't like the local data-lock-in due to tiddlywiki. ( Also - the whole ticklers (notification) system was a bit clunky. )

Once in a while I get the motivation to reproduce this as a full-fledged web or mobile app.

The "plugin" that you linked is for the older version of TiddlyWiki (it's called TiddlyWiki Classic now).

There is a plugin for the modern TiddlyWiki (IIRC it's full name is TiddlyWiki5) called GSD5 (GSD is for "Getting Stuff Done"): http://gsd5.tiddlyspot.com/ .

I've never used TW Classic and original mGSD, but GSD5 is "heavily inspired by mGSD" and on first glance they look alike a lot.

And, anyway, TiddlyWiki5 with GSD5 rocks.

Although responsive is nice, I find the update too stripped-down. I'm not a fan of the low-contrast (ios-style) movement in UX.. also it removes many links/buttons/features so that it looks more "simple". I'll take the ability to click on things in the original over the fancy transition effects.

TiddlyWiki is quiet flexible. I've rearranged a lot of stuff in my setup.

Instead of saving to local, there's a PHP script that lets you save your edits to a file on a server. http://tiddlywiki.com/static/Saving%2520on%2520a%2520PHP%252...

That page points to a code.google.com (and as such unavailable) project... :(

Sorry about that. Someone seems to have put it on GitHub with some fixes:
