Hi everyone. Just want to illustrate how hard it is to get started with an example that just happened to me. Someone asked me how to generate a static website with TiddlyWiki.
I'm still working on my tutorial, so I looked in the documentation for something to send them and here are the pages I stumbled upon in order: 1. Generating Static Sites with TiddlyWiki <https://tiddlywiki.com/static/Generating%2520Static%2520Sites%2520with%2520TiddlyWiki.html> - this doesn't mention Node.js anywhere except vaguely in a tag, so I need to also tell them how to run the Node.js version first 2. Awesome, there's a page about TiddlyWiki on Node.js <https://tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki%2520on%2520Node.js.html>! Ha doesn't say how to install it. It says "for more information, check one of these 21 links" 3. Maybe Using TiddlyWiki on Node.js <https://tiddlywiki.com/static/Using%2520TiddlyWiki%2520on%2520Node.js.html>? No luck, going back to TiddlyWiki on Node.js <https://tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki%2520on%2520Node.js.html>... 4. Clicking on the very generic link called "Node.js" actually brings me to the page Installing TiddlyWiki on Node.js <https://tiddlywiki.com/static/Installing%2520TiddlyWiki%2520on%2520Node.js.html>, hooray! 5. Now back to Generating Static Sites with TiddlyWiki <https://tiddlywiki.com/static/Generating%2520Static%2520Sites%2520with%2520TiddlyWiki.html>... Let's try these commands. Why don't they work? Ha, I need to add "tiddlywiki" in front of each of them, but it doesn't say. Going to publish a tutorial to answer that specific query soon but I think it shows how hard it is to navigate for a beginner and how a proper landing page may be able to address some of the most common questions :) On Monday, April 20, 2020 at 5:37:57 PM UTC+1, Anne-Laure Le Cunff wrote: > > Hi Jeremy, do you have an example of what such a full-screen Tiddler would > look like? > > On Monday, April 20, 2020 at 5:10:22 PM UTC+1, Jeremy Ruston wrote: >> >> Hi Peter >> >> On 20 Apr 2020, at 16:42, 'Peter Buyze' via TiddlyWiki < >> [email protected]> wrote: >> >> It's not just that the visual presentation is overly complex.
