Introducing TiddlyNoteThingy!

[David Gifford]

Yeah yeah I know, I am obsessed with tweaking TiddlyWiki for note-taking - NoteStorm, etc.

Here is my latest brainchild, TiddlyNoteThingy. Features not found in NoteStorm:
1. No need to title or tag tiddlers, just add content to topical indexes. Nice for quickly adding content on the go.
2. What appears in the indexes is not the tiddler title link but the actual content of the tiddler, with an unobtrusive link to the tiddler at the end. So you don't need to open tiddlers to see them.
3. RandomTiddler button to see random notes you have added.
4. Some note-taking tips for TiddlyNoteThingy.

If you download it, read the instructions and tips, and play with it for about 15 minutes, you may get hooked. Totally new way of using TiddlyWiki.

I would love your feedback, and may incorporate your suggestions.

Update: I had a change of heart about how to handle tiddler titles. The link is the same, but the indexes now show the tiddler title for the note directly above the note content. The instructions in the file will explain why.

Also, I created a separate file with several examples of how TNT can be used: http://www.giffmex.org/tiddlynotethingyexamples.html

Very nice. One small bug: Clicking "edit custom formats" under special formatting returns an "undefined" popup in FF13 (Linux).

Some features I'd like to see:

• Starting page shows a list of recent notes from all indexes
• Notes within an index can be sorted in different ways (alphabetically, modified, custom fields...)

Also, are indexes supposed to be tagged by "$1" by default, or is that a bug?

It's true, I like it a lot! Thanks!

Hi Meta

I believe that is part of one of the plugins

Hmmm...maybe Eric can check that since it is his plugin, or more likely he can tell me what I did wrong...

That is easy to do. I have that kind of index on another project. I will add it today.
 

• Notes within an index can be sorted in different ways (alphabetically, modified, custom fields...)
  

That, however, is another matter. If you hear of someone who has done that on TiddlyWiki, you let me know!

I have now added YourSearchPlugin and "200 most recent notes" features to TiddlyNoteThingy.
