I see what you can do about mode-switching , Charlie, and agree: that’s a good hi-level UI affordance..
Still, I think that there be pretty deep issues that keep TW from being a very agile NoteTaking tool. The best solution to the portability problem that I have found involves using Quine2 app on my iPhone, with sync to my desktop TW instance via Apple iCloud, but that is kind of a hack, overly dependent on Apple, I would say. Still more challenging to my mind is the diff between an outlining editor and the text editing window in a tiddler; that is fundamentally constrained by web standards -is it not? /walt On Saturday, June 19, 2021 at 5:21:42 AM UTC+1 [email protected] wrote: > Instinctively, I'm thinking it should be possible to simultaneously have > both "modes" (taking vs making) at the same time available, just because > TiddlyWiki is so flexible. > > If not simultaneous modes, then it should be possible to switch between > the two modes without batting an eyelash, kind of like how my more recent > TiddlyWiki instances can switch between "reader" and "author" modes > (triggered by hide/show of sidebar).
