@Edgaras don't be discouraged. There is merit in your suggestions and requirements, even if they differ from those of others. I think you have done well by sidelining the requirement for a better editor for now. Not because it is not important, but rather because it is a large and challenging undertaking and at this point will probably prevent from getting the ball rolling for now.
I would also recommend that we reframe this conversation not as a redesign of Tiddlywiki, but as creating an alternative UI on top of TiddlyWiki that emphasizes certain features (i.e. a vertical edition as we call it). Yes, certain features and abilities will get underplayed in favour of more affordances for others, and that is OK for now since we are not replacing the UI in the standard distribution. Later, learnings and experiences from this process can be fed back into improving the default UI as well. In other words, an incremental approach, using real world usage data and user studies to make improvements and changes. I think identifying the key requirements for this edition and purposefully limiting work to those features at first, is the best way to initiate progress, Hope this helps, Saq On Thursday, May 21, 2020 at 9:42:26 AM UTC+2, Edgaras wrote: > > *TonyM* thank you for your in comment from the bottom of the heart. > > I will reply fast not to be rude, but I have to focus on other work today, > and I am not that fast at writing. > > What I am scanning from your comment (and I will read it again later) that > the new theme will prevent users to customise TiddlyWiki to the detail as > they can now.
