I believe I care a good deal about my versioning (it's part of what makes my wiki what it is, imho). It's fairly common for me to go back in time to see what the original tiddler or structures in my wiki were. Sometimes I have to recreate something, sometimes I'm making a comparison, and sometimes I'm just trying to better understand the story I'm telling myself in my wiki.
I think there is too much in TW that can't be nicely versioned within TW itself. There are some problems which really are best handled in TW itself, but I'm not convinced versioning at large is one of them (that may just be a bias in how I use TW though). I think versioning is a kind of backup, and there are a lot of valuable ways to backup one's TW. Versioning other kinds of software I run on my system can be a lot more complicated, imho. Leveraging the fact that TW meaningfully and usably fits into a single file is really convenient, imho. Simultaneously using a number of versioning/backup systems for TW is one of its strengths in my eyes. I feel like versioning the entire TW solves my problems nicely (and, I specifically keep some versions of my tiddlers in my TW by hand to tell a story). I'm surprised this is considered a defect by others. I fear I am missing something important. On Thu, Aug 23, 2018 at 10:25 AM @TiddlyTweeter <[email protected]> wrote: > Ciao Diego > > Right.
