[TW5] TopStoryView 0.0.10 (plugin) released

[Felix Küppers]

TopStoryView is a TiddlyWiki plugin that adds another story view to tiddlywiki.

See readme with description, instructions, screenshots @ https://github.com/felixhayashi/TW5-TopStoryView

Excerpt from the readme
 

When opening or navigating to a tiddler, the site is scrolled until the title of the tiddler reaches the very top of the browser window.

[...]
Tiddlers that do not exist in the story river are always inserted at the very top. No matter from which point the where opened or created. Why? This way it is ensured that the river reflects the browsing history. The motto is: "new content pushes down old content". Alternatively, you can configure the plugin to always insert a tiddler at the very top, even if it already existed in the story river.

TiddlyMap uses this plugin for its "live view" (see http://bit.ly/tiddlymap)

Hi Felix

Well done, looks great, and very nicely presented. I also enjoyed playing with the latest TiddlyMap, it's come a long way.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy,

thank you for the positive feedback!

I also tested the TopStoryView-Plugin for the 5.1.8 preview and it all works fine :)

The version history log of TiddlyMap has indeed grown pretty long and it became quite sophisticated. I hope I can move away from the beta state in the near future.

Once all my plugins "stabilized", maybe I could add them to the TiddlyWiki plugin folder so they appear in the "Get more plugins" modal? Is this the same as doing a pull request to the plugins folder?

@everyone - if you haven't tried TopStoryView then you should. Go [[here|http://felixhayashi.github.io/TW5-TiddlyMap/index.html#How%20to%20install%20TiddlyMap%3F]] and drag only the TopStoryView link into your TW.

@Felix,

* First: thank you for making this!!!

* IMO, once perfected, I hope it is included in core because of all storyviews that display all open tiddlers at once, this is IMO the "cleanest" and most "to the point" E.g Stacked storyview has a lot more frills to it, but even Standard storyview which is more, um, "odd" in it's behaviour unless you've become accustomed to it.

* For the above reason, I think TopStoryView deserves a dedicated site or a dedicated section within some general site of yours, not merely as a part in TiddlyMap. People can't be 100% sure they're getting all necessary parts needed for it when they are to take it from a bunch of other stuff.

* Small bug(?): If you, for instance on the TiddlyMap site, click tab Open. Then click the edit button on any tiddler not on top (i.e scroll down). This sets the Draft on top... but this is not reflected in tab Open.

Thanks for your very positive response and your kind words :)

Thanks. I think the top story view is especially interesting for wikis that are designed to be used as websites.

I agree, I will put it on a demo site. I just hadn't found the time yet. Its definitely on my list.

True that! That needs a fix.

... I also want to improve the animations a bit which are borrowed from "classic" at the moment.

Hello Felix,

Thank you very much for this and well done. I'm using it on a personal TW based tool and it is improving the experience a lot: Tiddlers that would not be visible after navigation (because you can see a small portion of them already) are now displayed perfectly.  Would be possible to change where the tiddlers appears? I like how it navigates but I would prefer to have the tiddlers appearing below the current one.

Thanks for this!

Yes! :)

I think this is possible. But could you please describe the issue a bit more on github (https://github.com/felixhayashi/TW5-TopStoryView/issues/3).

What I can do is to always open tiddlers at the bottom of the river instead at the top.

I can also add an option to behave completely like "classic" but always scroll the titles top...

Just to let everyone know, I'm not being rude leaving this conversation unfinished. We are just discussing this topic on github.

He is lying, we never had a discussion on github. Just kidding :)
