I've just finished watching the video for talk about Glamorous Toolkit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pot9GnHFOVU , and it immediately
connected with my experience of how tiddlywiki ---and similar
Hypercard-like systems--- work, and specially with the concept of
enabling you to extend the tool in whatever way you see fit.

That's it, just wanted to share that with you.

Cheers,

Hi Javier,

A very cool catch. I did spend a good deal of the last 2 days watching the videos and reading the docs.

It seem to be a very cool concept. Similar to TiddlyWiki in terms of "hackability". Even a little bit of the markup seems to fit. eg:
! heading 1 is translated into exactly that ;)

The text editor can mix text and "live code snippets" within the documentation. ... That is super cool stuff!

The downside is. It's beta and on Windows the keyboard handling in the editor seems to have major flaws at the moment.
So you basically have to open a tiddler, write stuff and copy paste it. :)))

I did start to file github issues. They'll probably start to be angry with me in a view hours :))

BUT HEY ... The concept is phenomenal and may be a perfect fit to TiddlyWiki!

Especially analysing the TW core source code may be interesting, once I get hold of the basics ;)

have fun!
