TiddlyDesktop for computers is pretty awesome.
You have to visit that link I gave earlier to see options.

Thanks I will check it out.

Transclusion? Programmability? OneNote? BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Microsoft could really make it orders of magnitude more useful,
if they would just let it be programmable like Word, Excel, Access, & Powerpoint.
It could be their MongoDB! 
But what do I know?
I'm sure "useful" doesn't really figure into the bottom line,
or the agenda when they are talking about business strategy
and choosing which user base to cater to
(which seems to be the system admins, who don't want their users to have too much power,
or else it's just more pain for them to lock everything down in a corporate setting. 
Why else would they move from vbscript to something like PowerHell as their scripting language? LoL)

You'd have to look at all plugins.
Same for mobile sync.  Might be possible, but I don't know.

First I need to just wrap my head back around TiddlyWiki, which I haven't done much with in almost a decade!
Is your BAM built on whatever the latest TiddlyWiki engine is (last I checked which is ages ago, it was 5.x)?
I am so far behind in how it works that it will be just like starting over!

I did play a little with the IDE and got a basic hello world and string concatenation to work. Woo hoo!
I'm not sure if you want to point people to any GW-BASIC docs,
in case it helps, there is a manual to be found here:
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/mindset/100...l_1984.pdf

If GW-BASIC is the target goal, for me what would kick ass would be for your BAM to be able to run Akalabeth, graphics and all!
The GW-BASIC source can be found here.

You've probably see this, but here is a JavaScript implementation of QBasic.
