Hi BJ,

Thank you very much for the TiddlyClip TW5 plugin and FF addon. I use them 
very often to capture news to my TW when browsing around.

Since you were also asking about particular uses, I also tried a few months 
ago to use TW5 + TiddlyClip to create a web notebook for studying 
vocabulary of foreign languages. The goal was to easily create new 
vocabulary entries in a TW5 thanks to TiddlyClip, and then use other TW5 
features to treat these entries as flashcards to support studying them. I 
didn't get to finish it, but I found TiddlyClip was very flexible. I was 
even capable of creating new tiddlers and renaming them, as well as create 
and delete tiddler fields (I have uploaded a copy of the latest status 
here: http://juliocantarero.github.io/TW5-LanguageStudyNotebook/ . It is 
not fully working though)

Regarding suggestions, I would have never dared, but since you asked :-)

   - In the documentation, it took me a while to realize that there are 
   tags and modes settings (table columns) both at Category (operation) and 
   Rule level. Modes at Category level are BrowserConfigModes, which is 
   different than Rule modes.
   - I tried to transclude a tiddler in the tags column at Category level, 
   using {{TiddlerName}} but it did not work. I think I read somewhere in the 
   plugin documentation that the {{ }} option should work. It works in the 
   body column. The purpose of this was to be able to tag clips from different 
   sessions with different identifiers, like lesson N or subjects, etc.
   - And if I may: I guess there is a reason for it, but I found that the 
   syntax of the substitution expressions and macros was complex and rigid. I 
   guess I was stretching the use of TiddlyClip, or missed an easiest way to 
   collect information in multiple passes from a web page. The only option I 
   could think of to pass structured information to TW5 (I mean a vocabulary 
   entry with term, definition, examples, pronuntiation, etc.) was tiddler 
   fields.
   
Regards,

Julio
