Hi! I'm new to Tiddlywiki. My coding background involves some coding experience (I used to code and network for Building Management Solutions involving HVAC/Lighting Control/Security) but very little by way of HTML. I'm also new to Tiddlywiki. So, please treat me like a child.
My interests are research. My friend, who has a PhD in philosophy, and I research together in the hope of writing books on philosophy and theology. Specifically, for any ners out there, I'm interested in Thomistic Philosophy, Speculative History, and ethics within technology. I also work a lot with Hermeneutics and basic apologetic subjects, such as the Kalam, Historical case for Ressurrection, ect. I say all that because I've been trying to get together a note taking system with a few goals in mind. 1. A place where all notes on all subjects, even my bread making obsession, can be placed. 2. A place where those notes are not locked by hierarchical limitations but can "interact" with one another. A big part of my interest in writing is taking two seemingly unconnected subjects and connecting them in new ways. I think that's one of the essential skills all philosophers need to develop. If all of my thoughts are then able to be logically connected in long chains of thoughts which can be later followed up and fleshed out in a chapter, that is very useful. 3. The ability to collaborate. Not only do I want my thoughts to collide with each other but I want to "accidentally" bump into my friend's thoughts and whoever else might join. This also forces this to be completely on the cloud. 4. User friendly. My friend is not very technical. He is an incredibly creative thinker, as his dissertation which synthesized a huge amount of thought shows, but he is not analytical like myself. So, I need something user friendly. Right now I'm thinking that TiddlyRoam or TiddlyBlink will be the best fit for me. I do have a few questions though. 1. How do I change the styling? Are there themes I can easily embed in the code? Back in the day I used to code CSS and HTML for personal pages, though I've gotten away from that. Any experience with these specific distributions of the Tiddlywiki platform as far as style? I'd like to stay away from plugins and just change the HTML file permanently. 2. Any experiences or thoughts? I just found Tiddlywiki yesterday after taking with an IT friend of mine about my goals. So my knowledge base is very limited. Thanks in advance. This platform is incredibly exciting. I don't want to use Roam as I want to own my thoughts so the work you all are doing is incredibly useful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
