Stroll Questions

[ohare93]

I recently came across Stroll, a Roam-like TiddlyWiki add-on. I am very much enjoying it, as it brings the features I've been sorely missing from Roam.

A few questions though:

1. Is there any interaction between tags? I am finding that most of the setup I had made with interconnected tags will need to be replaced in order to show the connections at the bottom.

2. Why does the Caption override no longer function? I liked naming my Tiddlers in the singular "Deck" and overriding the caption with plural "Decks" so that the tag is singular yet the name appears plural. Little thing, I know!

3. Is there a git repo where I can see the source code, and perhaps contribute?

Anyways if you see this, thanks Dave. Great add-on.

Hi oha

1. I deliberately designed Stroll without reference to user tagging. The goal was to get as close to Roam in functionality, and Roam works with backlinks. Backlinks have the advantage of being less likely to slow down a large file than tags, and don't require you to stop typing in order to use a mousepad to click on things. But of course, you can use tags all you want in Stroll.

Drift (https://akhater.github.io/drift/), which was based on Stroll, is set up for displaying tags at the bottom as well as for backlinks. You may or may not find Drift more compatible with your current system.

2. I went to the Stroll site, created a caption field with a different name for the Welcome to Stroll tiddler, then in a separate tiddler pasted

<<tabs "[tag[$:/giffmex/tutorials]]" "">> and the tab for Welcome to Stroll shows what I put in the caption. So I am not sure what you are referring to. Describe what you did, what you expected to happen, and what actually happened, and I will try to figure it out.

3. I don't use GitHub, sorry! I am not a coder, just someone who found a way to combine plugins, viewtemplate tiddlers, and CSS to approximate the feel of Roam in a TiddlyWiki. I am not opposed to you uploading a copy of Stroll to GitHub and adding your own improvements there. I don't make any money off of this project, I just wanted to make something useful for others. Just give it your own name to avoid confusion, like the author of Drift did.

And thank you for the kind words, oha!

1. Ah I see. I will give Drift a try, thank you.

2. I am specifically referring to the name of the tiddler itself! In a normal TiddlyWiki when you edit the caption then save the Tiddler it's name on the header at the top will update. This no longer happens after installing Stroll, I assume because it is overriding the Tiddler render.

3. No problem 👍

Thanks again for the add-on!

When you are using tabs macro the tab will show the caption, also in the TableOfContent.

What did you change for the tiddlers to show caption instead of title? Or do I misunderstand?

Hi oha, regarding the titles in Stroll, try going to the sidebar tabs, gear icon tab, and toggling " Choose how to view titles " on a tiddler with a caption, and see what happens. That is the only thing I can think of that would hijack the titles.

Hmm, perhaps I am mistaken. I cannot seem to get it to work anymore, I must have imagined it 😅
