Discussing - Notes on Tiddlers stored in a Data Tiddler

15

Agreed. But I think there are notable exceptions. Another thread explains what I think might be a motivating example, and I can think of another simple one:

{
  "HelloThere": {
    "score": 4, 
    "comment": "This is fine for the moment, but some eventual modernization wouldn't go astray", 
    "priority": 8
  },
  "Quick Start": { /* ... */ },
  /* ... */
  "Creating Substories": {
    "score": 3,
    "comment": "The explanation is reasonable, but it's lacking motivation.  //Why would I want this?//",
    "priority": 3
  }
}

Imagine a tool that let you build a JSON tiddler like this, paired with a ViewTemplate that displayed this information on all non-system tiddlers and a summary tiddler that lets you find all priority 1 element, sort by score, etc.

You could drop my version of this on the main site to see what work I think needs to be done. We could collaborate on a shared version. But it’s extremely unobtrusive, adding only a handful of tiddlers, even though it updates your view of everything.

There are plenty of other possibilities. I still don’t think I’d want it very often, but I can see times.

Edit: It looks like @etardiff beat me to the example (“documentation notes for various $:/core tiddlers”.) Great minds, and all!
