Hello, I used your extension to import my notes from Roam. It worked quite well, but there are several things, that didn't work as expected. I tried to find the GitHub repository to enter an issue, but couldn't find it. Do you have one where I should post this? For now I'll put it here:
One of the issues is quite severe, because I'd have to check and correct every tiddler manually. The bullet points are not indented correctly. For example if I have in Roam a structure like this: * Meeting ** Project1 is fine *** Participant1, Participant2 ** Project2 is late *** Participant3 ** Project3 ** Project4 *** Participant4 *** working If I import with your TW I get: * Meeting ** Project1 is fine *** Participant1, Participant2 *** Project2 is late **** Participant3 **** Project3 **** Project4 ***** Participant4 ***** working So the indentation is not reset correctly. The other issues are probably with how I used Roam which doesn't quite work for TiddlyWiki: 1. the #tags are not converted to links and TW also doesn't recognise them as references with blinks from Stroll (https://giffmex.org/stroll/stroll.html). That's solvable by tweaking Stroll though I guess? 2. In Roam there is a possibility to link pages in titles like this: [[[[Windows]] 10]] That would create two pages: - Windows - [[Windows]] 10 Where you can click on Windows in the title of Windows 10 which would bring you to the Windows page. But I didn't find a way to do something like this in TW yet. Fortunately I didn't have many titles like this and could resolve those manually. I hope this feedback helps you.
