Eric,
Looks good and very professional. You have addressed a serious gap in
tiddlywiki capabilities through this set of solutions. For the community I
thought I would provide some suggestions why I think this is a Big step;
- Tiddlywiki has now increased the usable time date resolution to
seconds (or less), perhaps before it was good for history and task
management now its good for time management.
- This allows time of day planning, event reminder and popups giving
the "time of day" part of calendars, thus calendar events.
- Time triggered events now allow an alternative trigger that does not
demand a user trigger, this means new forms of automation are now possible
that were not so easy, and at a minimum, needed a plugin to be developed
for a specific purpose.
- Solutions with Reminders are now much more feasible
- With timed "events/actions" a TiddlyWiki can produce meaningful
results without any user interactions
- With TiddlyDesktop this can include triggering processes on the
computer
I hope other that are inspired also share what they can get from your
solution.
Thanks very much Eric.
