2017 was? 2018 hopes?

Cari...


What were your favorite Tiddly moments in 2017?

mine were ... ToDoNow plugin ... Bundler plugin ... everything to do with URL posting that Thomas, Riz & Jed worked on, especially for Tweeting. Also private work with Stephen Kimmel on "Togglers" that I hope will go public soon. BJ's fabulous regular expression orientated Flexity plugin. A lot of bespoke help I got from Mark S. And witnessing great emerging innovations on CSS grid layouts.

What are you hoping for in 2018?

my highlight hopes ... TW develops a decent Lightbox system for showing image galleries optimally and copes better with mass scale external images. Multi-user access and simultaneous usage that is robust and easy to set up to allow me to collaborate better.

And yours?

Happy year next & THANK YOU for 2017!

Evan Balster's "Formulas" plugin - and I hope it could make it into core! It provides a functionality many users (who are familiar with MS Office and similar software) might expect. Furthermore, it is easy and intuitive to use, even for newbies, and it might get them interested in other advanced features of TiddlyWiki (fields, transclusions etc.)

The "CSV Unpacker Plugin" (from the same author) looks promising, too.

About TiddlyWiki Core, I loved Release 5.1.14, which introduced improved support for drag and drop (and the new Tiddler Manager is nice, too!). 

Happy New Year!

Josiah,

Since you started the tread, I decided to add to it. The new year come in 40mins for me, We just got back from the 9pm fireworks at Coogee beach

Too many mentions and thanks to give everyone, all I can do is express my gratitude to the community and wish you all the best.

I plan to release plugins and tools myself in 2018 and contribute to the doco. I also hope to support my business with tiddlywiki with a return to the community.

Happy new year, when yours comes around.

Tony

What were your favorite Tiddly moments in 2017?

The hard work done to make it possible for everyone to save after the Firefox update. Thanks to Arlen Beiler, BJ and Pmario.

A lot of great stuff were shared in 2017. I will not mention anything and anyone in particular but I am grateful. It is an ever growing palette of options to extend our use of TW.

Everyday I enjoy the kindness and the help given in this group. For a normal end user good examples and explanations are GOLD.

 

What are you hoping for in 2018?

I love to see how other people are using TW, please! 

Happy New Year 2018.

Well, great to see such a post.

Favorite Plugins:

1. Tiddlyserver: The plugin takes the top place in the podium. It is single handedly responsible to helping me organize the rather large and dedicated TWs. I hope more and more people will find it useful, and Arlen will enjoy developing it as much as I enjoy using it.

2. MutiUserWiki plugin by Jed: While Tiddlyserver takes the top spot, MultiUserWiki plugin is not far behind. When Firefox apocalypse happened, what hit me most was the death of "It is all Text" plugin, rather than Tiddlyfox. TW5 is intended as a knowledge manager and not a code-writer. However since its usage inevitably invites some tweaking, it was nice to have the services of a full fledged text editor like sublime text. While I won't be probably using the "multiuser" part of this plugin, I am definitely enjoying the part which allows me to transmit changes made in file system to the browser. As a person who tends to be conservative in appreciation, I will go on to say it was mind-blowing.
I see Jed is working on it and making it far more feature rich. It has a few bugs here and there. It requires more documentation too. I think such stuff will happen once more people come forward to use it and provide feedback. I hope community takes notice and make use of it.

3. JD's Mobile Layout. It has been quite some time I have been trying to solve this mobile layout issue. Tadaa, it got solved. Plus I highly recommend its palettes to TW5 core (replacing several ones that reminds me of web-pages from late 90s, when I first started using internet)

Honorable mention goes to if-else plugin by Evan blaster. (I assume the formulae plugin is more popular here. However as a person who doesn't have much use for maths more advanced than highschool, I am happier for If else plugin.)


Wish list:

From others

1. I am glad that Jeremy has outlined a definite plan for more documentation. I hope it succeeds and solves our long and ardent wish for more organised and extensive documentation.

2. I had a private TW5 with my wishlist. Thankfully all major ones in that list was fulfilled by the  plugins I listed above. So I decided to keep a small gist of my minor wishes here and hope that someone with more technical skills will make it happen

3. As always, surprises.

sincerely
Riz

Hey, all —

 

What were your favorite Tiddly moments in 2017?

Letting myself go hog-wild and build a bunch of TiddlyWiki plugins and modifications I've wanted for a long time.  :)

What are you hoping for in 2018?

I have a lot of reasons to dial back my efforts extending TiddlyWiki, but I'd really like to mature the formula plugin a bit further with some lisp-like constructs for setting variables and executing loops.  I've written a native dataflow compiler for another project and I know there are certain features (eg, function definitions) that really allow productivity to take off.

I've also been studying the TiddlyWiki core pretty intensely these last weeks, and I've found several opportunities for making TiddlyWiki much faster.  That could make TiddlyWiki much for viable as a platform for interactive visual models and explorable explanations like these:  https://evanbalster.com/tiddlywiki/formulas.html#Real%20Projective%20Line:%5B%5BReal%20Projective%20Line%5D%5D%20%5B%5BHarmonic%20Lattice%5D%5D

Anyway, here's hoping I can manage at least some of that amid what's looking like a very busy first quarter working on other demanding  projects.  :)

[TonyM]

Evan,

Once again you are getting me excited, " lisp-like constructs for setting variables and executing loops" because self referential "coding" in TiddlyWiki would introduce processing and computation that supports the Quine nature of tiddlywiki which currently delivers its wonderful features to users but demands more sophisticated knowledge to leverage the computational part of a Quine. To provide access to less sophisticated users would multiply the possibilities of tiddlywiki even further.

Thanks again for Formulas and IF

Tony

Programming in tiddly..
Don't know if

Hi Riz,

Your minor wishes make me :)

* Github flavored Markdown Wikiparser rules

 IMO this is definitely a major one ;) ... In the meantime plugins may help.

* A dummy tutorial on how to develop for TW5. More extensive development docs. If possible, a how to guide on how to develop a widget with necessary javascript tutorial. I'll soon upload some videos, that may be interesting.

* Widget to wrap JS code

IMO a security problem. ... Plugin only, from my point of view. 

------------

A happy new year for everyone!

You make this community a fun place to be!

have fun!

Hopes...
Twederation to be an opt out part of the core...
Imagine... You open your shiny new tiddly Wiki and there in the getting started tiddler is a list of wikis you could follow...and tiddlyverse expands...

A move away from Google groups to something more shiny... :D

And of course a national lottery win :)

Happy new year peeps and keep it tiddly!

[Riz]

Thank you Mario. Always a pleasure to have more videos from you.

Hmm that link doesn't work for me

What are you hoping for in 2018?

Hoping for better string manipulation tools / filter ops. TW is primarily centered around textual content... so it really ought to be simple to manipulate arbitrary chunks.

And, obviously, the ever lasting biggie; We still desperately need some infrastructure for the community to find stuff. Something infrastructure that would enable something comparable to Apple store for plugins, and contribute documentation etc where people can easily and collectively add/edit/rate etc on stuff.  As noted a zillion times; this is definitely one of the most important things that could be done for the TW project as a whole. It would raise the quality of everything.

<:-)

I've started a Video-Series:  How to work with a TiddlyWiki development environment

which starts at the very beginning with setting up the development dependencies on a "vanilla" Windows10 system.
I'm using a VirtualMachine. So the system in the videos should behave very close to a user machine, that doesn't know any development related stuff. ...

The group thread is: [VIDEOs] - How to work with a TiddlyWiki development environment

If you like it and you don't want to miss new content: Subscribe to my channel.

have fun!

Mario,

I have being through most of the videos and it is a great introduction that helps visualise development environment without going down unwanted rabbit holes if we were to try and do it on our own.

Once again great work supporting the tiddlywiki community and environment

Hi Josiah,

 Don't want to ask this question for 2018? I think it is a good question to be raised for Dec 2018!

-Mohammad

[@TiddlyTweeter]

Ciao Mohammad. You ask it this year, ok?

I suggest that December 31st is probably the best day to ask it :-)

Josiah, x

[Mohammad]

Yes, please do it!

This way we can find what important and useful stuff are introduced this year and this is kind of notification/advertisement!

Best

Mohammad
