Presenting: The TiddlerSidebar plugin prototype

[Mat]

Fellow tiddlywikians, I'm happy to present...

The TiddlerSidebar ...prototype

...and it's fellow components!

Much is incomplete but the main ideas should be clear. It will eventually be a plugin and with the components as options, some of the as individual plugins possibly.

The first issue to deal with is the resource consumption. It seems that because the tiddlersidebar is part of the viewtemplate, its components are run automatically in all open tiddlers, all the time. What to do?

There is much else to do on it too. Your help, in any form, is warmly welcome!

That looks really good. This is a great idea as an addition to the interface.

Looks very useful - I'll be following this with interest.

Thanks

Hello Mat,

nice work! If I de-"$:/TiddlerSidebar"-tag the "Public" Tiddler, it even gets fast :-)

I'm afraid my contribution will be limited to cheering from the sidelines but, still, great start!

The only thing I would suggest is including an icon in the gutter to signify the presence of an additional hidden menu.

Great idea!

Some feedback: for me under Firefox 39.0 under Linux the graphical rendering is slightly off. Is it supposed to be like that or is that only me?

Snapshot1 and Snapshot2 illustrate that there is an alignment issue. Maybe specifying a constant width for every menu item and making the next frame appear at the same position will work better?

Snapshot3 illustrates that if the window is not maximized the menu text gets cut off and there is no way to get at it.

Please let me know if I can be of assistance

Cheers

Gennady

+1! This looks promising (think about filling the infos about you, like a link to your profile or an email adress and maybe a link to this group?)
