Bill, your post inspired me to give TW a try.
I use it to collect thoughts on 2 subjects - the idea is to think them through by writing and linking thoughts.
One thing I failed to find a solution to: When I rename a tiddler (=note), TW does not automatically change the links to this tiddler (as the tiddler name is used for linking). Am I missing something - or is it TW that lacks an important feature?

Strange, re: broken links
Manfred Kühn wrote about this limitation in TW (http://takingnotenow.blogspot.de/2017/01/a-tiddlywiki-limitation.html).
One of the comments says that the limitation has been fixed in TW 5.1.14. But I cannot find the option he mentions in 5.1.14.

Speaking of wikis, does anyone here use an online wiki as a private wiki for a personal notes database?
I’m just wondering if there is one that makes it relatively easy to capture notes (i.e. the minimum number of steps to create a new note) and search and find notes or browse them.
I have no need for a public wiki or for sharing notes. It’s about the convenience of having it online, so I can use it with a Chromebook, and access it from any device and OS.
Once in a while I do a search for this, but I have never found anything that focuses on making note-taking easy. They mainly focus on making things public.
It would be a replacement for ConnectedText. I don’t expect feature parity, but it should not be harder to add a new note or to find an old note or to navigate the database than in CT.
TiddlyWiki unfortunately doesn’t meet my criteria.

This is not going to be for everyone—but, I use DocuWiki on my own NAS server and can access it locally and online via a private address. There are also options to get DocuWiki hosting from others—here’s a couple

DocuWiki is simple and has all the core features I think a wiki needs to have.

Not sure if these will make TiddlyWiki usable for you, Dr Andus, but a couple of ways for putting it online I hadn’t seen mentioned are Tiddlyspot: http://tiddlyspot.com/ and Notself: https://noteself.github.io/
