Mat I think there is a bit of difference tinkering in tiddlytext and 
something widespread and future proof as html/css/js. 
Also there are much more resources, people had every single problem 
thousands of times. 

I strongly agree with central place where to publish stuff. Imagine if 
there was a website where top solutions are promoted, voted up. Those would 
get attention and be improved by donations and contributions. Over the 
month with TW I kept discovering great stuff, just couple of days ago I 
discovered Tekan 
<https://ibnishak.github.io/Tesseract/projects/tekan/Tekan.html> by *Riz. 
*Truly 
amazing example of how TW can be anything.

*Riz *I am up for a discussion and feedback! I really want to help TW. Let 
me try to explain.

Given that HTML is the target for both

This is not true for me. I only want to publish some of my notes. It's 
important for me to also build a personal knowledge system. With the right 
format and organisation system Niklas Luhmann developed his "second brain" 
– the Zettelkasten modular noting system just by using paper notes. I want 
to achieve similar with modular human readable, file based digital notes. 
Markdown fits perfectly for this purpose, the format is universal, very 
portable, supported by many editors, systems. So I strongly agree with Scott 
here. Markdown is a strong original readable format. I like the idea of 
starting with Markdown (in some cases JSON or CSV) as a base data/model 
format 
and then add logic and structure with html/css/js.

Next very important thing for me is the editing experience. If I spend a 
lot of time writing, I want it to be pleasant and calm. That's why I love 
Typora <https://typora.io>, a super minimal text editor, doing
one job well – editing content. The editing interface is separated from my 
data files, I can change to another editor at any time I want. That being 
said, I wish Typora had some of the
RoamResearch superpowers. And funny enough something like that was released 
couple of months ago – Obsidian <https://obsidian.md>. I think in time we 
will see more and more editors that are made 
for interconnected thoughts, complex thinking. 

I also wish TW would become like that one day – a tool that connects well 
with other workflows and not a monolith system (that is super modular but 
internally).

I use VSCode but it's optimized for coding and not for writing. The 
interface is way too complex for a writing tool. 

Maybe that's another thing that I would like to see in TW – much more 
separation between building the tool/tinkering and writing, thinking 
connecting thoughts. It's like when you are driving a car you don't wan to 
see all the engines and electronics (while some people still would enjoy 
that).
