Hi everyone,

So I got into TiddlyWiki a couple of days ago because I wanted to recreate this website as a fun weekend project. I only checked the source this morning and realised... It's actually built with TiddlyWiki and TiddlyBlink!

Some really cool stuff going on here for your inspiration:
  • Preview of links in a tooltip
  • Pages open side by side (see the URL which says ?stackedNotes=ID)
  • Links to this note show short extract
Just wanted to share as I think it's a really nice use case of TiddlyWiki. Here is my own WIP implementation.

Very cool site but I don't think it is made in TW in any way. But one probably could emulate it with TW :-)

Really nice! Keep going on! Tiddlywiki is a wonderland and you will find and of course make many amazing things!

I saw something in the source that made me think it was the case, and now I can't find it for the life of me—probably because I was wrong! Thanks for the correction! And yes emulating it is my current pet project :)

Two minor comments
  1. When the preview pan appears, there is a scroll bar but you can not use it and your tooltip disappear
  2. I love the static site, isn't it worth to have a small TOC (links) somewhere on right or top?

Thank you!

Initial impressions:

1) I think that even though now ALL the links are external links, there is a way to distinguish between true external links (like the one to your Twitter account) and links internal to the wiki. Clicking on the first link and having it take me to another site was jarring.

2) I wanted to scroll in the IFrames that came up on hover, but don't see how to do that. For most of the iframes, the only thing you can actually see is the title, which is pointless since the link was already the title. I wonder if the preview plugin would work with static sites, or if there is a way to refine the iframe so you see content, not the title...

3) Is there a way to monetize the blank space in the sidebar with advertising?

4) I really like static html navigation. This really makes me want to re-learn node.js and do something like this.

5) If I do something like this I will have a home button in the sitesubtitle instead of or in addition to your 'About'

1) Very good point for external links! The rule I had was no hover for external, and hover preview for internal, but maybe it's confusing.

2) I still have lots of work to do on the iFrames, I actually want them to open in the right-hand side of the page. In the mean time I'm going to work on having more text fit in the tooltip.

3) Yes, totally doable.

4) Tutorial coming! You don't even need to learn Node, it's just a bit of command line stuff and very easy.

5) Yes that would make it easier to navigate. I'm making this project purposely so there's no "home"

Ann-Laure,

I think some of issues you encountered can be addressed using theme!

Hi Ann-Laure,

Nice static site!

Would you mind share your procedure for making the static site likable that way.

Thanks

Yes it is cool.
You properly messed it up with TW in your mind because you read this thread  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/tiddlywiki/authorname$3A%22hc$20haase%22/tiddlywiki/MXXCiHvv-U4

as Jeremy points out,

I'd be pretty confident that he'd [the creator of the site] be aware of TiddlyWiki, and hopefully learned from it.

looking forward to see what you create
