I'm quite new to TW, but I have been thinking about a few things to suggest regarding flow (I've been doing some mock-ups).
One of these suggestions is to have tiddlers be identified by "name" (essentially a unique identifier), instead of by Title. The idea that a user is forced to give a Title to every tiddler seems to go against the principle of allowing tiddlers to be the smallest units of content. The Name could still be the Title (if it exists within the Tiddler), or the first few words within the tiddler. The user could also change it to whatever they want. This is just an overview of my idea... I can explain further if you'd like. As I mentioned, I'm currently mocking this up. But would be good to know what you guys think about it, so I know what makes sense and what doesn't! Hope you feel better soon btw!
