Hi Arkady Thanks for the encouragement, and the detailed feedback, much appreciated.

See the "has" operator as an example: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/modules/filters/has.js > > - Is it possible to set <$list> filter to select tiddlers with > tags/titles matching a regular expression? > > Not at the moment, but it's a good idea. > > - Is it possible to have <$checkbox> widget do more than assign a tag > to a tiddler?

For the moment, I'd expect a GxD implementation to have it's own extended checkbox widget. > > - Are tiddler fields always treated as text or is it possible to set a > field type (e.g. date, integer, etc.). > > Tiddler fields are strings by default, but can be typed through the use of "tiddlerfield" modules. The core tiddlerfields are in boot.js: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/boot/boot.js#L713 > > - Is it possible to create contextual tiddler templates?

Basically each type of view that you need would be a separate ViewTemplate segment (i.e. a tiddler tagged $:/tags/ViewTemplate). You'd wrap it in a reveal widget that would selectively display the template depending on the tags on the current tiddler. The reveal widget doesn't yet allow for testing tags, though. > > - Would be nice to have an easy way to create a tiddler with a certain > template (e.g. create buttons with custom functionality).

Do be aware that TW5 will undergo quite significant changes in the next couple of days as I complete a round of refactoring that I've been doing. With the new changes the generated HTML is much cleaner, and the individual widgets have been rationalised and simplified: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/178 > Thanks again to all Tidlywiki developers. It's an awesome tool for many > things. I have not seen so much functionality packed in ~600K of code. > Thank you, much appreciated. Eventually we'll minify the TW5 core by default, which should reduce the footprint somewhat!
