Hello,
As I said in another post, I'm aiming to base my "digital garden" like blog on tiddlywiki - inspired by this https://nesslabs.com/digital-garden-tiddlywiki.
Before I turned to TW (because it gives a very cool base as it is already a notetaking tool, able to work on multiple platforms) I was trying to modify some existing Jekyll (a simple SSG) themes to fit my needs. One thing I liked was having the ability to display my "notes" and other kinds of posts as a graph/map , which this template does for example: (Scroll a bit downwards):
https://digital-garden-jekyll-template.netlify.app/consistency - where the edges are links to specific sites.
As Tiddlywiki already has a powerful mapping tool in TiddlyMaps, the question that comes to my mind would be, if it would be possible to export special TiddlyMaps that I generate in TW into the site - like I said an "overview" map would be the most important usecase, but there could certainly be other ones!
Thanks for any help!

Not sure. My absolute non-expert opinion is that your tiddlymap wouldn't work in static. But I have no evidence to back this up :) Have you tried tidgraph? would that suit your needs?

Yes it doesn't work. i tried to print a statical site which included a tiddler with a Tmaps widget in order to test it. i don't know the exact error anymore, but it didn't work.
In general, tiddlymaps makes oftentimes makes problems in combination with other plugins important in that regard, like stroll in particular, and with a lot of tiddlers will bloat. so I think one would maybe look for a tool that's more sleek.
I think one could try to work with the vis.js or the graphviz plugins that are available. and there' also another graphing tool i found in the search using "UML" which seems to rely on graphviz https://github.com/tobibeer/tw5-plantuml.
the people at "org-roam" seem to use graphviz. that's all i can say right now, def wouldn't have the skills to make a plugin work.
