I was introduced to TiddlyWiki by a professor during my informatics undergrad studies about 10 years ago, and am so rusty with anything script or code like due to lack of practice and a TBI shortly after that time.
I’m pretty smart and learn well from man/docs but I am struggling with the dearth of “dummy” level walk throughs I can find. There’s a series on YouTube that is REALLY helpful but I am having a super tough time troubleshooting errors that I am getting. Are there any forums/groups/etc that would be open to occasional super-basic n00b support? Also I’m having a tough time trying to figure out how to use a single personal TW via my OneDrive or SharePoint spaces between my multiple devices (OSX, iOS, W10, possibly also xNix soonish as well). Anyway, I totally understand that folx may not have the energy for a modest amount of handholding (I get what that’s like!) so any response of any kind is deeply appreciated! Thanks for reading.
