Same re: Tiddlyspot, the SSL issue is kinda a big deal.
With regards to intros to tiddlywiki, I wanted to throw the following out
there to the community....
In terms of intros/guides to Tiddlywiki, one of the things that's been a
thorn in my side while learning is all the various kinds of brackets and
where you use them! It seems like there are a dozen different contexts in
which you use one, two, or three square brackets, angle brackets, or curly
brackets -- not to mention widget tags -- and it's not always clear to a
newbie which can go inside which. (It's not always 100% clear to me and I
feel like I've risen above "newbie" at this point).
The answers are all within the tiddlywiki web site but it's sometimes hard
to find the answers if you don't know how to phrase the question.
I think a hugely valuable resource to "people trying to rise above the
level of newbie" would be a cheat sheet to what kind of markup is
appropriate in what kind of context. This would be especially valuable to
people like me who have experience in programming and markup in some other
context but find out that the way things work in tiddlywiki is unique and
not always what they expected from other contexts.
So I could scan the list and notice that in a filter I use <> {} to get to
variables and textrefs, in a macro definition I use $this$ and $(that)$ to
get to parameter and variables, in the attributes of a widget tag I use
<<this>> and {{{that}}} to get the results of a macro and the results of a
filter expression... that kind of thing, maybe with links to the tiddlywiki
website which explains each piece.
Again, that wouldn't be helpful for complete newbies but it'd be a valuable
resource for somebody who's just started to learn the complicated stuff and
is running into problems using the wrong kind of markup in the wrong places.
Maybe someday I'll write for myself the resource that I wish were available
to me while learning....
