Hi Imba The project was to imitate as much of the helpful aspects of Roam as possible in TiddlyWiki.
The primary tiddlers for this transclude backlinks in four different ways, according to one's preferences $:/.giffmex/ViewTemplate/refscontext $:/.giffmex/ViewTemplate/refslinks $:/.giffmex/ViewTemplate/refstranscludeclean $:/.giffmex/ViewTemplate/refstranscludecollapse and the buttons $:/.giffmex/ViewToolbar/new-note-here $:/.giffmex/ViewToolbar/new-note-here-datetime If you want just backlinks, I think that might be all you need, other than maybe the Stylesheet, $:/.giffmex/.Stylesheet4tiddlyblink Please get them from https://giffmex.org/experiments/tiddlyblink.experiment.html, though, not from the original TiddlyBlink site. The plugins are also really helpful though, and imitate Roam functionality, especially the first three: 1. $:/plugins/snowgoon88/edit-comptext adds autocomplete to the linking process 2. $:/plugins/flibbles/relink changes all the backlinks when you change the title of a tiddler 3. The stories "plugin" (still under construction) provides the two column feature which imitates Roam's sidebar. In itself this is really helpful for viewing and editing tiddlers side by side. 4. $:/plugins/danielo515/ContextPlugin is only necessary if you use the 'search results in context' way of viewing references (though I personally don't). This reference view is the closest to Roam in that it singles out the very lines in which the search term appears, so you know whether you need to review that tiddler or not. 5. The list search macro is helpful but not necessary. If you do your own plugin, I look forward to seeing it! And yes, negative undertone noted. I am trying to overlook it to be of genuine help to you. I appreciate and accept the apology. On Thursday, April 23, 2020 at 5:28:28 AM UTC-5, Imba Sunder wrote: > > Why though? I say keep it simple and do the opposite.
