I agree with this observation however it has long being on my mind, and I have written about this previously. the thing about tiddlers is they place the record, with a unique key, at face level, right in front of your eyes, simply tagging/flagging/or setting a common field basically nominates each tiddler as a record in a table.
- However tiddlers can participate in zero or many such tables simultaneously
- Or adopt different roles including javascript modules etc…
Tiddlers can be part of something greater, organised into various data structures even pseudo folders and behave as if files. We can even use different methods to render one or more tiddlers not to mention the exportability Static Tabs - Experimental - #4 by TW_Tones
I think whilst we don’t always look at TiddlyWiki this way it is perhaps the key to its flexibility and the understanding people can bring to it when they first discover TiddlyWiki.
This is I believe a key aspect to why TiddlyWiki promote “Digital democracy” and provides every person access to writing their own Software solutions.
- I may add that many of TiddlyWiki’s competitors fail to go anywhere near this potential.
