Hi Saq Thanks for sharing the video of your dual column TiddlyWiki. That looks promising!
Questions about SubStories: 1) How does it "allow you to edit"? I am not seeing that. 2) I tagged a tiddler with the SubStories code with $:/tags/SideBar. Is it possible to create a 'dropzone' in that tiddler so that the user could drag a link to the dropzone and have it automatically open there? Maybe when dropping tiddlers there, it changes a state tiddler to include those tiddlers, and the substories tiddler displays all the tiddlers in the state tiddler? And closing a tiddler removes it from the state tiddler? I don't know how to do any of this, of course, just thinking out loud to light a spark in someone else's mind.
