Hi Walt, Hopefully you will get input from people actually using Streams as to what works for them.
One of the things I would dearly like to know is how many people are actually using Streams on a regular basis, and what their workflow looks like. My feeling is its a very small handful and I'll admit that probably influences how much time I devote to working on Streams. > But then: the result is a slew of tiddlers with long numeric IDs that, tho > nicely presented in the edit window as a clean hierarchal outline, cannot > be either flattened into a single tiddler, nor exported or even copy/pasted > into the tiddler body via any built-in affordance.

Each node in a stream is a tiddler and can have any content. Streams was originally envisioned not just for rapid note taking but also for the ability to divide your text into smaller tiddlers as you write/edit. As such it is difficult to envisage a single export format that would work for everyone's content. However using the approaches outlined in the link above you can easily set up your own markdown export. > For me, the best (and simplest?) solution would be to convert the stream > to Markdown: each node being just a line of text preceded by a number of > asterisks (1->any) to reflect its level in the hierarchy. > The issue is that MD tiddlers will always be second class citizens in TiddlyWiki. I think in the long run this isn't going to be a feasible approach unless all you want to do is write your notes and export them outside of TiddlyWiki. Also note that while MD syntax does support multiline content in lists, TW markup does not ( at least not cleanly). As an aside, I think something like this unfulfilled experiment would suit your use case from what I know of it: https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/drA7IEx2Ng0/m/67pyPkgKBgAJ Before you ask, no plans to take that any further, in part due to the reasons outlined above.
