Hi Charlie, Thank you for sharing what you have been working on, and for what I found to be a very well written post. I honestly cannot say I would have written it much differently. Please do continue sharing and engaging with us just as you have been.
As always, there are many ways to achieve the same thing in TiddlyWiki. Eric has provided some great suggestions to streamline things that you may wish to consider in your own time.
