I like the idea of small fragments of information that mutate and change. I have looked at the tiddly wiki and then bumped into chandler. I also have my own ideas on finding similar data in masses of information. I quickly hacked together a web front-end similar to https://hub.chandlerproject.org/pim The letter web interface is surprisingly intuative. I did however have a few design questions: 1) What is the underlying data model of an entry in the to do list I can see that entries have - a collection (ie which collection they belong to) - a star - a title - an author - a starts on date - a text (ie in javascript/JSON {collection:'foo', star:false, title:'....', author:'.....', ...} ) But what else? Do they have a GUID (Global Id)? 2) What about ordering - is the NOW ordered (for example) random, or what? 3) is history preserved - can I roll back to an earlier time 4) Do entries have parents? etc. These are all design questions. I originally wanted to keep the front-end and re-implement the backend - but the front-end used the dojo framework and life is too short to learn everything - so I hacked together some HTML/jquery stuff that more or less replicates the hub version.
