Bimlas,,
Once again you seem to have produced an elegant solution. Having being
involved in a number of conversations on these very matters you have made a
very powerful interface into the details of tiddlers and their
relationships. Despite my involvement I see I need to take a conceptual
leap to use locator. I see that the user needs to realise how comprehensive
your solution is then use their imagination to explore the possibilities,
not to mention use it to explore the Wiki it is installed on.
Your new introduction and video go a long way to helping, thanks for your
excellent work.
- Is the video silent?
My feedback right now is "Wow, great", but it needs a little something to
make it perfect.
If I may suggest some ideas to consider,
- "Locator" works, but something like "Content Locatorer" "Content
Explorer" would be more meaningful.
- One way to help with this is to include along with the name a short
descriptor
- eg; Locator, your whole of Wiki content locator.
- There is something upside down about the interface in the tab, I see
why, but I have a hunch there is another way
- Also this is so powerful at least on a desktop you could have an open
in story, open in new window or modal then you would not need to be so
minimalist
- Having a more verbose interface available, may make it easier to
learn to use the sidebar locator once someone has learned how to use it
I need to spend more time within to give more useful suggestions, but have
a couple of deadlines today. I would like to provide a little more feedback
because I really appreciate what you have done here, I particularly like
your systematic approach to dealing with the complexity possible in
tiddlywiki. I think all you need to make it perfect is a little more of an
intuitive interface, perhaps with the use of some appropriate key terms,
and info icons. Another effective way is to find an appropriate metaphor,
perhaps one that relates to content.
Here is a simple info Icon I use often
<$button tooltip="A small informational piece of text"
class="tc-btn-invisible">
{{$:/core/images/info-button}}
</$button>
It is only a tooltip
But a set of the above could be toggled on and off as needed.
Love your work
Please keep up this valuable contribution
Thank and Regards
Tony
