The introduction walkthrough looks good, professional. It is important to keep that sidebar open and not make it closeable/foldable with the double chevron in the top right corner.
If it gets close accidentally a new user might not realise how to get it back. Moreover, it would useful to point out early on in the introduction that previous slides/tiddlers can be viewed again by clicking on them in the sidebar. 25 Apr 2020, 18:18 by [email protected]: > @Jeremy: this was such an interesting read, thank you! > > Just want to jot down some thoughts: > It's the fist time I see the > introduction walkthrough > <https://tiddlywiki.com/editions/introduction/>> , this is going to become my > go-to when telling people about TiddlyWiki! > Tangential - I was about to share the link on Twitter, but checked here first > and it looks like there's no link preview.
