Hi vrpape, Thanks for the kind words.
Stroll displays under a tiddler, as a link or a transclusion, every tiddler that backlinks to that tiddler. So if one were to combine Stroll and Stream, if that can even be done (at the very least, at the moment, I know Stream breaks the auto-complete), any "node" (or line) in Stream that backlinks to a tiddler will display under the tiddler it backlinks to. Keep in mind that EVERY node in Stream is a separate tiddler, so Stream is not for creating a huge "second brain" wiki. It looks like it will make more sense for smaller projects.
