David, Thanks for your complement! I'm glad you like it. Cardo was one of the first Wikis that made me realize how much could be done using the platform, so thank you for the inspiration.
1. The origin of the "Open in Main Story" drop area is actually a solution to a technical limitation in TW's $navigator widget. Each of the lists on a board is implemented as a "story river" just like the main story. Clicking a local link in TW sends a message up the widget tree and $navigator catches it and performs the tasks to open tiddlers, etc. Short of hacking around it in javascript, I found no built in way to break the message out of the mini stories, so I decided to make the user drag it out! 2. The << and >> icons are neither buttons or drag items, they are small drop areas like the larger regions in the control banner. Try dragging the title of a list to the icon to reorder. Note that you can drag cards to the icons to change them to lists, and drag lists into the card area to change them to cards. These drop areas have been misunderstood by several people, so a future version will likely have a change to a different design. For Dropboard 1.0.0 the User Guide wiki will have much better documentation and examples in the user guide to help people discover how this feature works. 3. The control banner does need another iteration. I'm trying to take advantage of the extra height that is established by the drop areas, keep the options well laid out and visible at thin board widths e.g. in the sidebar, and also avoid resorting to hiding things behind a "More" button. If any ideas that you could draw a napkin sketch of, I'd be interested to see them (Keeping in mind that as an exercise I've decided to only use WikiText, Widgets, and Macros on this project. No javascript). - Reid On Saturday, October 7, 2017 at 8:29:38 PM UTC-5, David Szego wrote: > > Reid - Beautiful, beautiful work.
