Events Notebook

[passingby]

My modest solution to record all types of events in one's personal life:

http://eventsnotebook.tiddlyspot.com/

The solution is simple and nothing brilliant. Any suggestion for improvement is welcome.

For now I have noticed one small problem. The tiddler [[Timeline Selected]] successfully displays the events in a chronological order sorted on the field 'when'. But the tiddler [[Timeline All]] contains the macro '<<timeline when filter:'[tag[event]]' >>'. This does display a list sorted on the field 'when' but the dates are offset by one day. the event tiddler of 10 March 2013 is shown under 9 March 2013. I cannot understand why is this. Please have a look.

Hi passingby,

Congratulation, I like the simplicity. There's some inspiration here.

I really like the simplicity of...

• What
• Where
• When
• Why
• Who
• How

This stuff is quite reusable.

Some suggestions...

A) I would suggest to perhaps use a namespace for the field names, e.g. event.what, event.where, etc... or e.what, e.where ...that keeps them together when more fields are involved.

B) I would also suggest to use event.circle and event.type instead of tags, this makes it more explicit... although listing available circles and types to chose from and finding related stuff may then need some additional plugin, like GetPlugin [3].

C) As for the UI, I think a vertical flow would make [[Timeline Selected]] easier to use, with select all being the first checkbox at the top.

I think I will extend FiltrPlugin [1] to add something like your [[Timeline Slected]], whereas you can have one set of primary tags to filter (your circles) and then secondary tags (your types) to refine on these.

Also, looking at "Show All By Tags" makes me want to give TidsByTags [2] a little code-review / update.

All in all, congratulation,

Tobias.
