I think a lot in bullet points and the one feature I miss from Dynalist / workflowy is the unlimited nesting with the possibility to have a dedicated tiddler for each bullet point and rearranging etc...

was anyone able to accomplish something similar in TiddlyWikki ? i wasnt' able to find any plugin ...

thank you

After spending time researching I found https://reidgould.github.io/tiddlywiki-nn-plugin/ that seems more like to be a rough PoC and, unfortunately, not usable. Project apparently dropped

Hello David

thank you for answering, outwiner has a lot of potential don't you think? The first thing I can think about is breadcrumbs on the top of the child tiddler and that shld be easy to do...
 how can I install it on my TiddyWikki ? do you still have plan for it or you dropped it?

I can see it working perfectly along side with TiddlyBlink

you sure love you some breadcrumbs!

No, this was an old project. I think in the system tab you only need the first 6 "noteslam" tiddlers and maybe the outwiner tiddler.

Yes, it actually shouldn't interfere with TiddlyBlink (except possibly the stylesheet), because it uses tagging, whereas TiddlyBlink uses linking and ignores tagging. Keep in mind an elaborate toc rendering with extensive tagging will eventually slow TW down. Maybe there would be a way to do it with linking instead of tagging, but probably not in TiddlyBlink then.

Make something of it. It is all yours!

Also, it's really not much of an outliner. It is just a toc that allows one to render formatted text, and adds a new here button at the end of each line. There is no zooming in and out or hover menus or drag to rearrange.

I just started with TW less than a month ago so my level of experience cannot be compared to yours :)

so you think it is a "hopeless case" there is no way to fit an outline inside TW5 ?

Tony K,

Since I am not so familiar with Dynalist / workflowy its hard for me to comment but TW5 certainly has the ability to meet your needs from what I can glean from your comments. An example in point is outliner functionality often discussed here, one example here https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!searchin/tiddlywiki/twoutliner%7Csort:date/tiddlywiki/ol_3zvGPbk8/2pftgZ86AAAJ
Which I took further for my own designs.

Surely what you say is a version of the existing TableOfContents with some bells and whistles? An interface to drag and drop etc...?

Regards
Tony M

Hello Tony M
Thanks for the reply

I don't think mimicking the experience of writing would be easy without a Wysiwyg editor what I settled for (for now) is using dynalist and embed it in tiddlywiki. Not the best solution but didn't find better

I wish I could program lol I had an idea about how to could pan out but totally outside my skill level ;)

Cheers
