Chris,
I can only echo Saq's comments. One of tiddlywiki's key strengths is its
diversity. When it comes to productivity using tiddlywiki people often have
different preferences and approaches and looking at your solution it
definitely has some great approaches.
My initial review is it looks great, and has nice functionality.
I am happy to review and comment further if requested.
My first comments are at a very high level.
- Try and allow you solution to be installed in such a way it is
somewhat independent, so people can combine your solution with others.
- This means it can be used more often, as well as people discovering
novel ways to make use of it.
- If you can "expose" macro's and methods to increase utility and
hackability it is always helpful.
- I would avoid asking that any macro be placed in the tiddler
like <<everything>>, as this forces the use of the text field when its
unnecessary.
- Ideally I would suggest having a field such as object-type with a
value of omnibus
- Then a conditional viewTemplate that shows <<everything>> if
object-type[omnibus]
- If you do not want to force a tiddler to be only an omnibus you
could look at a simple omnibus= hide/show field
In a tiddler tagged $:/tags/ViewTemplate
<$list filter="[all[current]object-type[omnibus]]" variable=nul>
<<everything>>
</$list>
Then one could have a button in the ViewToolbar to make a tiddler an omnibus
- Set object-type field to omnibus
This would allow the text to have additional content, that displays above
the omnibus and the tiddler to serve other functions.
Thanks for your contribution
Regards
TW Tones
