I started using TW 6 months back. Although i have tried other note taking tools like
remnote,
obsidian,
dendron,
logseq etc, TW best suited my needs.
I will list the best plug ins of "2020" which i use daily
1.
crazko's Krystal plug in - this is the backbone of my wiki........I also like using a set up with saq's stories plug in, side-by-side mode from
Drift and
jd's white space theme since it appears much more spacious than Krystal. But i had to stick with Krystal since the floating search box of command palette plug in was getting partly hidden behind one of the stories in the two story mode. Hope this gets fixed in the future
2.
saq's Streams plug in- another backbone of my wiki. Before finding TW, i was using remnote for some time. What i liked most in remnote was the outliner capabilities. Streams was helpful is that aspect. Instead of making a single large tiddler, using streams i can arrange the contents in an easily readable and understandable way.
3.
souk's Command palette plug in - i have made many custom commands for command palette to create tiddlers of various custom templates (with tags, fields auto-populated). This has made my note taking much faster.
I will list the other plug ins which i use daily but was released prior to 2020 -
danielo's Context, kookma's
Refnotes,
Shiraz,
Trashbin,
snowgoon's Edit-comptext,
tobibeer's ibox macro,
Twaddle's richlinks for embedding tweets,
wikilabs edit-tabs. Patelles by
jd (BrownOne, C8Dark, CoolMint, Neonize),
Dracula palette, Thomas Elmiger's penguin palette,
adithyb's SolarizedDark palette are worth mentioning.
I think 2020 was one of the best years of TW with many good plug ins getting released and core being developed actively. I follow TW google group,
reddit,
twitter,
github, and discord almost daily to keep myself updated and to incorporate good ideas from the discussions happening here into my wiki. Myself being a doctor, i don't have much technical knowledge in coding and i regret the fact that i can't contribute much to TW other than liking and sharing posts related to TW at present.
Now coming to my wishes for 2021
1. I wish for a better web clipper for TW.
buggyj's tiddlyclip is a good one - it can even clip text from pdfs. But I think it can be made better by reducing the steps needed to clip a text. Also I wish it could support streams plug in. Currently all the text clipped from a single webpage or pdf is stored in a single tiddler. And every time we clip a text, a link of that same page also gets saved in that tiddler making the tiddler large. I wish each clipped text from a single webpage to be saved as separate streams tiddler. Also a real time editing of the clipped contents to be supported by opening a side window of TW in the webpage being clipped. Such an implentaion can be seen in
remnote web clipper and
eloquent webclipper.
3. I hope HCHaase's TOC Generic plug in gets updated with inclusion of freelinks and also with support for editable transclusion.
4.
Old Muuritouch was one of my favorite storyviews with a long list of keyboard shortcuts. But the keyboard shortcuts in old one were not working with latest releases of TW. But BTC released an updated and slightly trimmed down version of
Muuri recently and saq made an interesting implentaion of
Muuri in two story layout. I am very much interested in seeing how it turns out to be.
5.
Riz's Tekan was another interesting plug in in TW which was not updated as a plug in for so long. I hope that the Tekan plug in gets updated to get similar functionality as the
standalone edition and to remove some
conflicts with modal as discussed here.
6. I had heard somewhere that saq may update his stories plug in eventually. Wish to see it earlier.
8. A better preview plug in. Currently I use the forked version of tobibeer preview plug in used in
tiddlyresearch when needed.
9. I wish to see how the Notation editor as shown by saq in one of the
TW hangout video works.
10. diego's
Anwiki also deserve an update. Although i dont see much use for myself, there is large student community out there who may find it useful. I know this because i am a member of remnote discord (remnote is an outliner note taking app with in-built flashcard creation and spaced repetition). There aren't much apps which can do note taking and flashcard creation at the same time.
11. A better UI for editing tiddlers.
12. I wish to see more TW hangout videos in the future in youtube where our great developers and contributors showcase their workflow. Its always better to see and learn than reading the documentation texts.
Finally thanks to the founder, developers and contributors of TW for this great piece of software.
