I am returning to TiddlyWiki usage after some time away, and trying to plan out the TWs I'm going to be using on my new Android tablet. I remember that when I was using TW on my iPad before, someone had written a plugin that let you take a picture with the iPad's built-in camera and embed it

Hi Antaeus, Can you expand on the reason(s) why you would say that - for writing storylines - tabs make your life easier? What's better about tabs than sections in your context? I mean, if you don't want to interrupt your flow when writing, why do you want to interrupt your flow when reading?
