Rather than have yet another fork, a set of "starter" plug-ins would probably be better indeed. And what would be needed is a simple, straightforward "Getting started" page - even the current "Getting started" page is confusing and overwhelming, off-putting even, for a newbie.
BTW, by newbie I don't just mean someone who is new to TW, I also mean someone who is not well-versed, if at all, in coding terminology. That latter lack does not mean that TW is not for that person, it most certainly could be, but the intro to TW has to be right. 20 Apr 2020, 11:00 by [email protected]: > Peter, > > >> >> In my opinion TW has not gained more traction because of how it is perceived >> when someone looks at it, i.e. similar to my initial experience.
