Hi Saq
Thanks for your input.
FYI, your @media solution made no observable change. (I thought @media was
for printing instructions?)
Regarding close others: I think a simple instruction that the close others
button only closes tiddlers in that river is sufficient.
Regarding imitating Roam: I like the current set up we have, much of Roam
functionality, but presented in a TiddlyWiki way. I don't feel the need to
imitate Roam further than that. The instructions will make it clear how to
use it in ways similar to Roam.
To be honest, the only changes I think I would like are:
1) *If possible*, reduce that space between rivers when sidebar closed
2) *If possible*, have the top of the tiddler that opens in the story river
be flush with the top of the left tiddler top when opening the former with
shift-click. The scrollbar opens slightly down from the top.
3) Tooltips (I was looking into that when I saw your email come in)
4) I will reduce the number of themes available in the theme switcher
5) I will do tutorial videos and organize the front page and necessary
written instructions
6) I will separate the instructions version and an empty version, a la
tiddlywiki.com
Blessings, Saq.
