@Walt hopefully you are getting some helpful feedback here. Apologies for
the slight digression caused by my replying to Streams specific comments
and feedback.

I've been considering it for some time actually. Apart from feedback on
workflow, just knowing whether the number of people regularly using Streams
is < 10, 10-20, or 20+ would be very helpful.

I think the most value for myself would be in just getting regular, precise
and on-topic feedback. Implementing new features in the absence of user
feedback is just driving blind from my perspective. I also find it very
frustrating and motivation sapping when I post ideas or demos and at times
get feedback that is far off topic or just so poorly written that it is
more frustrating than helpful. Mind you, I try to be very understanding of
users for whom English is not their first language. It is actually very
pleasing how constructive and helpful this thread has been thus far in
comparison.
I've also been considering asking for volunteers for a small group of
regular users of Streams for testing new features.. from my perspective
however how, much effort I put into adding new features to Streams is
highly dependent on how many people regularly use it and find that it
imparts value. Call it a personal quirk but wanting to impart the most
value possible is something that often drives my decision making in terms
of what I dedicate my time to. Otherwise the motivation for work on Streams
is just whatever seems interesting for me personally from a technical
perspective.

That is definitely a nice idea. I wonder if we might take it a step further
and just drop the last word (which may be incomplete). This is untested:
<$text text={{{
[<display-title>length[]compare:number:lt[40]then<display-title>]
~[<display-title>split[]first[40]join[]trim[]search-replace:g:regexp[(.*)\s(\w+)$],[$1]]
}}}/>
What do you think?
Cheers,
Saq
