Announcing Tidbits — a community recipe edition (v1.0.0)

Absolutely. I remember that yours was my favorite of the variations I tried. I also very intentionally did not look back at them when I started this work a few weeks ago. I reread the relevant threads, but skipped anything that talked much about existing details. I didn’t even reread or try to incorporate my pretty fractions findings, which was initially meant directly for this work. I wanted this to be a clean slate. Sometime soon, I will go back and do some comparisons (and comparison shopping!), but not before I get 1.1 out with more complete internationalization.

Thank you. That’s very nice to hear. It means that I’ve met the most fundamental of my design goals.

I think you’re right about both, and that would reduce the number to a nice round 10. I’ll incorporate that into the next version.

Thanks. I like it. I was so happy when I noticed the mirror symmetry and reversed the final T. I keep thinking of dropping the final S to make it more obvious, but it never quite seems right. I also keep thinking of normalizing the D / B, which are quite similar, but not quite mirror images of one another. I don’t because there’s something awesome to my mind about having a logo I can select as the text it represents. I think I would lose that.

I’m very glad you followed up with details here. Before I decided to spend a the weekend away from this project, I read your first post and was confused trying to work out a response. That’s what this is all about! Trying to create editions that would help new users understand the range and ability of TiddlyWiki!

I certainly hadn’t thought about that. It makes some sense. I won’t do it during primary development, but I will try to think through the implications for a more complete release.

Found it: PR-8957. I’ll read it more thoroughly soon.

Again, a good idea I hadn’t even considered. Perhaps $:/community can have a tools section that includes things like this. It might make building slightly more complex, but if it could cut down on custom code per edition, it’s definitely worth it.

Could you explain more what you might like as well as or instead of the numbered steps. We could easily enough just show the !! Steps section, but I like the highlight-current step bit in cooking mode, and am not sure how we might accomplish that with a more generic markup. Ideas welcome!

I was thinking of this as the overview photo for the recipe, like an avatar might be on a personal profile. After that, you could easily use normal TW tools, including drag-and-drop for any others you want to include. There would be something to be said for using the current add-photo mechanism for a list of photos, especially if we wanted to deal with attributions. But then I’m not sure what happens after that. Do we show a string of photos instead of the avatar-like one? Rotate them? Carousel style? Just allow users to embed these photos in their text? Something else? Nothing seems obvious or simple. I’d love suggestions.

Absolutely. On the to-do list.

I’m expecting to do something similar to this in the more complete internationalization phase.

I’ll look into it.

Hmm, I thought I had done that. Have to see if it was lost in a merge or if I’m just misremembering. Either way, that’s absolutely right.

I’m not thrilled with this either. I originally tried things with uni-link, and one other aliasing plugin, but neither did what I liked. I feel like this is a placeholder for something better, but I don’t know quite what that is. Right now, the best bet is that Autocomplete should gently urge you toward the canonical name.


Thank you very much for some fantastic feedback!
