Saq,
Well, I not one person that uses streams every day, Me. I am also
continuing to extends its features with my own tools.
The big boost to my use was discovering how much I can make us of drag and
drop in both Streams and Projectify. This has changed my everyday use of
tiddlywiki.
I also see Streams as a source of ideas to develop even more general tools.
I will volunteer for anything to do with streams, but yes I have to manage
the rest of my life, but if you are happy if sometimes I make take time to
get around to something count me in.
Love your work
Tones
