This post came about after reading an interesting recent (July 2018) blog post from an ex-google programmer : Why not add an option for that? <http://neugierig.org/software/blog/2018/07/options.html> It had a link to xkcd <https://xkcd.com/> but not to the little "How Long" chart I posted above.
There is also a link to an April 2000 post by Joel Spolsky (of Stack Overflow) that I read: Choices <https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/12/choices/> Everything I do on my own TiddlyWiki is just for myself. The enhancements come about organically, and so are not "configurable." Changes and additions are hard coded. If I had to make it re-usable for others I would probably not make them, as I would then want to do it perfectly, and it would take too much longer. One obvious example was the Dictionary Links <javascript:void(0)> that Mohammed picked up for his Tw-Scripts. I never bothered to make an interface to add and remove items from the data tiddler that holds the link names and patterns. Another is a dropdown menu to make new tiddlers for specific topics by using templates. For each particular topic, it adds all the correct fields & tags & puts in the macros that display the fields, the next and previous buttons, etc. This one saves me a LOT of time, multiple times a session. But at the time I made it, if I had to make it for others to use, I would have probably given up! Now, after seeing so many examples of how it is done, I probably could do it, but still probably won't - as doing it WELL is not the same as just doing it!
