Hi David,
Teriffic piece of work!
Some feedback, some criticism, and some questions out of curiosity:
1. Did you find yourself having to write a lot of custom js plugin code?
2. Are you planning to package everything as a CarDo plugin?
- This probably also answers the question how one later upgrades to a
newer version.
- It also answers what parts are designed to be configurable /
extensible and which parts aren't.
3. Rather than be an entire edition defining the entire wiki
experience,
I think I would favor if CarDo was more of a plugin to TiddlyWiki
- Did you consider this approach and if yes, what made you decide
against that?
- For example, I think all CarDo tabs should be under a main CarDo
tab in the sidebar
- and if one ends up having that open all the time, fine
4. possibly, CarDo could provide its own sidebar or action panel
- rather than try and squeeze all that stuff into the sidebar
- perhaps it's also just a matter of styles, e.g. that centered text
in the *Tools* tab
- which I don't find to be a good design choice
5. I tend to agree with Jed, that CarDo would benefit from as
little css / style modifications as necessary
- i.e. for it to look more like a "Stock-TiddlyWiki"
- for example, I don't quite fancy how the sidebar is fixed and very
narrow
- I find words that wrap anywhere highly off-putting (those veritcal
tab buttons in the sidebar)
- also, switching to a fixed story apparently breaks the layout so
that the story covers the sidebar
- it slightly appears that rather than be mobile friendly you tweaked
some core layout elements
to by default always assume smaller screens
- e.g. those vertical secondary tabs in the control panel or
sidebar
- I would abstain from such overall UI changes and leave it to
everyone else
to change that as desired and suit their device needs
- or wait for the core to provide an even more adaptive experience
- or only apply those changes for a screen size smaller than X
pixels
- in other words, CarDo suggesting new design paradigms appears
to me
to be something that users may not want and so it could be a reason
why some may refrain from using an otherwise great productivity
tool altogether
6. a little bug, I think: scroll to *Project Team* and click *N*
- scroll back down and see how now *all* tiddlers are
erroneously listed as RACI team members
7. I would name the Intake tab simply *New* because that's what it
does, it allows to create new pre-defined elements
- and would make the tab button shorter
- which would renaming the tab *Tiddlers* to *Core* likewise achieve
8. Are you planning a documentation edition for CarDo?
- I believe intermingling demo data and instructions in one go isn't
quite the best approach
- for example: How to change the RACI
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsibility_assignment_matrix>
pattern to one's personal preference / needs?
9. I would also very much want an empty edition w/o any demo setup /
tiddlers at all.
Personally, I probably won't be using CarDo,
as xGSD felt slightly overbearing to me.
I would possibly tend to a UX
that does not show everything all the time,
which atm feels overwhelming / distracting to me.
On the other hand, I do understand how it may be quicker
to have all the necessary controls visible at all times
at a defined spot, rather than having to search for that checkbox
burried in some "more CarDo" slider or some bottom-tabs.
On the other hand,
if you think of CarDo more as an extension,
then that's what you would want, e.g. to:
- know all the bells and whistles of it
- which make CarDo a gr8 productivity enhancement
- which are at your fingertips when you need them
- but *only then*
- and you know where to find them
- intuitively so
Best wishes,
Tobias.
