I put together, for the giggles, a quick and dirty picture of what I'm thinking. A nice little HTML file that, when opened in the browser, shows a tiddler editor. So just a small text editor that allows entering TW wikitext markup, with a preview window. Well, a preview window that only

Although that does look pretty sweet ... I have a Chromebook, which I rather like because of the lightness / minimalism of living in a web browser. Although I could install the Linux version of VSCode, it would be quicker for me to load a TiddlyWiki from Google Drive whenever I want to just

If you want to skip loading a TW into memory, and just work on TID files, I would actually suggest VSCode and my TW5 Syntax plugin: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=joshua-fontany.tw5-syntax This has hot-key shortcuts that allow you to create the block of metadata

Nah, Chromebook. Half-a-dozen TiddlyWikis. All on Google Drive and accessed with TiddlyDrive. I don't really want to have all of them open all day for whenever I might have a thought. I much prefer throw notes in quickly loaded small/distraction-free apps, so it is just a quick trip to the

I just found a better reference (i.e. in-browser simple text editor): https://browserpad.org/ That one knows filename when opening a file, and remembers that filename on "save" ("save/export", in my mind.) If that thing had TW formatting buttons and a preview pane, it would be exactly what

In regards to open and save *(just for reference: https://www.outpan.com/app/e7d5b37405/mytextarea)* ... I'm thinking an open button like the one in that editor, and an export/save button that works exactly like the tiddler export button in TiddlyWiki, with just the TID option or with

Define backward. To me, it is like the difference between a small text editor and a word processor. Using a text editor for certain things, instead of a full Word Processor isn't going backwards. It is just using the simplest tool that makes sense for an immediate need. Same thing for

Well, something like that, but not the TiddlyWiki full monty. i.e. just what is needed to create/edit/save WikiText (à la TiddlyWiki) to a TID file. Nothing else. No refresh mechanism going on, no loading up a whole TiddlyWiki (with all the tiddlers and plugins), blazingly fast open of a small

I suspect you would find this prototype by JD of interest: http://j.d.fullscreen.tiddlyspot.com/ Click the "fullscreen" button in the tiddler toolbar, and then turn on the preview in the editor. TiddlyWiki has a mechanism to allow you to switch between page layouts
