Folks,

Inspired elsewhere, I had this idea, and wonder if some of you are familiar with techniques that may help build a  "Tiddler title generator"
  • Has anyone worked out a way to use heuristics from the text in a tiddler, to come up with a caption or title that reflects the content?
  • If we could generate suggested unique titles from the content and other values that would be Fab
  • Users could modify the suggestion before committing
  • It would reduce the cognitive load when capturing pieces of data in tiddlers.
For example perhaps the tiddler or its parents has particular tags, keywords or categories perhaps we could some how find larger words in the text and combine them to generate a possible name for a child tiddler?

This could be boosted by allowing the tiddler author to highlight words within the text that are representative of the tiddler and as a result may be of use in a title.

  • A Popup could provide half a dozen possible titles and you can click one or enter the final title.
  • Some would be simple like "parent tiddler + N", 
  • others could be "child of parent tiddler N" or A
  • Yet smarter ones may suggest "Parent (keywords)"
  • or other heuristically sources values

Advanced
  • In the title selection dialogue we could also add features to prompt the user to provide relevant tags categories or keywords.
  • In effect supporting the author of a tiddler to make use of standard or existing methods based on what the know about the information at time of creation.

Regards
Tony

Further,

The tiddler type, Tags, fields and title of the parent even siblings can all be brought into the naming heuristics.
