cj Thinking out loud:
TreeSheets <http://strlen.com/treesheets/>looks very interesting (I looked at their video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB-saQZfrsw>) and it seems like a perfect conceptual fit for TW. It is really cool because I guess most of us have used a spreadsheet for making hierarchical notes but thought *"Oh, a spreadsheet really isn't made for taking notes in. Maybe I should just use the word processor... but I like this hierarchical indentation with columns and how additional things can be added horizontally"* I wonder if the whole TW page could be a spreadsheet grid with subgrids. New items are insterted by clicking the grid borders on the items and their subitems. It seems TreeSheets has a main grid and their subitems are *tables *but this would be more powerful and elegant in TW where everything would be a tiddler... or would that actually make sense here? Imagine if a bullet list really consisted of tiddlers. A kind of mini story river. Sounds very bloaty but maybe it isn't? Would the table grid aspect of the page really be css (presumably "grid")? Pity subgrid <https://caniuse.com/?search=subgrid>isn't a thing yet. Maybe the TreeSheets concept should be a story view? Or does it go beyond storyview? I'm reminded of the github discussion <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/4473>around Jeremys proposal to redesign the whole wiki page. ... <:-) On Sunday, April 4, 2021 at 9:53:35 PM UTC+2 [email protected] wrote: > G'day Julio, > > Thanks!
