Hi Mal, Thanks for the acknowledgement! Your additions and simplifications are stuff I would like to use myself (especially the commit message). I also love plugins that have so few tiddlers in them!
Speaking of that commit message, I'm always bothered by input elements referencing missing tiddlers. They show the placeholder: "type the text for the tiddler 'Missing tiddler'" Could you add something like this to the input element? <$input default="" placeholder="Add note"> or "..." or "Enter commit message" or something? Small details like this really make an interface feel nice. -jd On Wednesday, January 30, 2019 at 4:46:08 PM UTC+9, Mal wrote: > > All, > > For information, I've put together a simple system for managing saved > versions of tiddlers.
