Hi Dave, I like your design very much. It is good looking, and seems to be very functional. And it uses the functions of the core. Which guarantees compatibility, if you want to share it with TiddlySpace and/or others want to include it into there spaces. They don't need additional plugins, to get

About hierarchies: I really liked the Treeview menu when it came out, and used it for my NoteStorm, but I found that the deeper you go, the more frustrating it got. 1. There is only so much vertical real estate to work with. So you have to limit yourself to a small number of main topics. 2. As yo

I didn't think about the orphans. After looking through the wiki article briefly (very briefly.

Hi Corey, You are right. It is possible, but it increases the amount of work/ time needed for programmatically doing things. eg: inserting/deleting tiddlers. Have a look at "Linked Lists" [1] at Wikipedia. Liked lists are one of the basic things working with collections of data. It is rather techni

Can you have more than one custom field? How about a couple fields called 'parent' and 'grandparent'? If the 'parent' is deleted, the 'grandparent' becomes the 'parent' and the 'grandparent' field gets filled from the parent field of the original 'grandparent'. I'm not a programmer, so I don't know

Eric, Thanks for your thoughts! You've given me some new ideas about how to approach keeping data in tiddlers. TaggedTemplateTweak in particular opens up some interesting possibilities. With plugins and custom javascript, there's really no limit to what could be created. There is a fair amount of
