Hello Mark! Thanks for answering my questions thoroughly. I took a look at your app, and I don't think I'll try it right now, but you did give me an idea - create a specific note *type *for what information needs to be entered, and basically, have it ready on my phone. After all, we're talking HTML files, so what's the big deal of just contributing to a tidder which will eventually be imported into my main TW? The only issue I see is right syncronazation. In the past, I had a somewhat complex mechanism that would update my TW via dropbox and Google Drive, and I'm not really interested in getting back at that just because I want to implement a ToDo mechanism. It's kinda of going backward for me, you know? I'm going to think some more... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
