While I didn't use TW as a "Personal Knowledge Management" system, at least not specifically, I'd say the general answer to your question is how direct your access to the data needs to be, and put this in relation to how cluttered you want your UI to be.
For example, I would personally not want a lot of sidebar tabs. But then, if there's something I use a lot, then why not. But if there are *many" things that I use a lot then, again, I wouldn't want them as sidebar tabs. But then, if I could make the sidebar tabs more subtle or e.g hide them so they don't clutter, then I might want them there. But that comes at the cost of the direct access, so... etc. The conclusion is that it's a question of finding a balance and this is a subjective preference. I wish there were be some kind of measurement system that counts the number of times you actually use a feature and then proposes that you should make it more or less prominent in the UI but then what does "use a feature mean"? For example, sometimes it's enough that I *see *a title, not open the tiddler. Obviously no (current) way to measure this. >From a more pragmatic perspective I say; make reasonable guesses for your design, and then master TW. Over time, you'll *modify *your system according to your needs. In addition, I find that my needs shift over time, depending on what I focus on. Consequently my TW's shift. All UI's are compromises. All implementations balance cost-benefit. So the secrete is not to find "the perfect setup" but rather to gain the knowledge how to tweak it. <:-) On Sunday, May 30, 2021 at 12:57:53 PM UTC+2 Atronoush wrote: > Recently there were some interesting discussions on better utilizing > Tiddlywiki for Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) > > Tiddlywiki is an amazing tool, but one quickly lost in the jungle of > tiddlers, tags, tabs, etc... > You can easily add tags, tabs, tiddlers, ...
