Front End [TW5] - 'THE NEXT CENTURY '

[susui...@gmail.com]

Hi everybody,

I am very new to tiddlywiki and I would love to see tiddlywiki going into the 'next century'. Therefore I would like to ask, if anybody can help to adopt following concept. It is a kind of the Ghostwriter theme and some nice styling features including a usability approach.

It would again bring tiddlywiki a huge step forward regarding usability... 

What can I do?

Who can help? 

I really hope we can work on the Front End together. 

Thanks to all out there! Thanks for all that great work! I really love tiddlywiki! It is amazing! 

Susu

Concept

Ghostwriter Theme adopted (links for examples provided)....

Intro Site

1. step

Intro (Tiddlywiki Title & Subtitle instead of Home Blog – a picture to choose from local or online resource)

2. step

This Bottom Bar is going to be the Top Bar with following elements

1. Search Field – tags / date / etc.

2. Options Field (i.e.) sort by Date/tags/Title/

You should be able to open all tiddlers when sorted by tags/date/Title/etc.

3. Important tiddlywiki tools (icons) are shown in the Top Bar as well

3. step – Effects adoption

Hover effects & menu or this one

What can I do?

Yes, what can you  do? What skills do you have?

 

Who can help? 

This is a very friendly board and people usually get help. Just try to make the questions specific and kind of "one question at a time".

Susu,

Its great to see your ideas and expectations for tiddlywiki. Thanks for contributing.

The following is some guidance based on what I could understand from your post, and I may be way off, but this could be a result of your way of communicating. I am echoing Mats comments to some degree.

As an enthusiast for tiddlywiki going back years I know I have a degree of bias, but can I please suggest you break down your needs and interests into manageable units and ask the community. Many of your ideas may already have answers or only be a step or two away from realization. Remember there are many uses and different preferred "front ends" to tiddlywiki which is one of its strengths. Tools and features adopted in plugins will in time find their way into themes or the core if appropriate.

As a new user it can sometimes be difficult to see how far you can take tiddlywiki without needing to resort to large scale change, so it is always a good way to start by asking the community how to do something (in bite size pieces).

In your example you could engage people who wrote or customized the Ghostwriter theme, or ask the community how to change some aspect of it.

And I recommend trying to be clear when asking for help, be careful about making assumptions people know what you are referring to, give what ever detail you can like this theme does this but I want that. This increases the likely hood someone will have an answer for you.

Regards

Tony
