Indeed! That is why your re-implementation of Chandler is a breath of fresh 
air.

My needs are simple and expedient. I've moved back to analog with the joys 
of a fountain pen and paper to more rapidly capture daily tasks.
 
I still believe in a simple hyperlinked plain CamelCased wiki 
<http://wiki.c2.com/> as a repository for my stuff not as a Jira or Trax 
replacement.  

For me, not every wiki entry is/needs the UI widget baggage polluting the 
text area since the wiki is not the end product, but a means to externalize 
memory in plain text.

If tasks and projects are important enough I add them to my TiddlyWiki and 
then archive to VimWiki <https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki> which is 
better cross platform.

Plus I'm intellectually too impatient and lazy to learn more TiddlyWiki 
tinkering. I'm still learning the command line.

Too much friction leads me to abandonment. [1] 

Chandler provides the convenience of separating actionable items from rest 
of the wiki. This is why a simple semantic tag, 'chandler' is so powerful. 
It separates my wiki into actionable and not actionable stuff much like 
sparse trees and agenda in OrgMode <https://orgmode.org/>

Chandler's dashboard reminds me of Korsakov's LinearHomeoscope 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semyon_Korsakov#Inventions>  where adding 
another Archive 'pin' to ChandlerDone 'search'

<$button>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-add-tag" $param="archive"/>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-remove-tag" $param="done"/>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-remove-tag" $param="chandler"/>
{{$:/core/images/chevron-left}}archive
</$button>

results in returning the done actionable items back into the broader wiki. 

Essentially in GTD <https://gettingthingsdone.com/> speak back to 
supporting notes.

And what of tiddlers that need to go back to the Chandler dashboard, like 
say recurring action items?

We can retag with 'chandler' and 'now'

I added a ChandlerizeButton tagged with 
$:/tags/ViewToolbar

as outlined in Customise TiddlyWiki  
<https://tiddlywiki.com/#Page%20and%20tiddler%20layout%20customisation>

<$fieldmangler>
<$button>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-remove-tag" $param="archive"/>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-add-tag" $param="chandler"/>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-add-tag" $param="now"/>
{{$:/core/images/star-filled}}
</$button>
</$fieldmangler>

and added its button title,
{{ChandlerizeButton}}

to position it accordingly in the ViewToolbar

TiddlyWiki's powerful search will recall past archived projects and tasks 
and I click the star ChandlerizeButton to add it back to the Chandler 
dashboard set to my Home button.

This allows simple movement of entries in and out of Chandler completes the 
triage loop and system for me. 

Since there is date stamping [2] for plain text future proofing, a calendar 
is extra frosting! 

Thanks again, Joe

Best,
tony

[1] The TiddlyWiki Classic (TWC) past was glorious and littered with 
TiddlyTasks TogglyTagging siglets and endless tasting of all this generous 
group has to offer. Eric L Shulman's TiddlyTools <http://tiddlytools.com/> 
was a fount of tinkering tools, but with great power, comes great 
responsibility.

Imagine having to maintain this in 5, 10, 20 years?

Over time I found the need to switch back to simplicity like evil org-mode 
adding deft <https://jblevins.org/projects/deft/> then finally settled on 
VimWiki <https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki>. Investing in time tested 
tools like bash, emacs and vim has been fruitful plus CodeMirror bindings 
in TiddlyWiki for vim and emacs means old tricks still work for this old 
dog.

[2]  I like literal hard coding for future proofing thanks to Riz's date 
stamp button 
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/UHt6GsMpyAQ/USFJxw68AQAJ> on my 
Editor toolbar, I can log entries and recall with simple search inside or 
outside of TiddlyWiki
