- Did I ever know them? — No, although I may have come close a few times
- Do I use them all? — Definitely Not, but I try to, even just to test
- Do I know them all right now? — No, never will, I love this fact
I actively help people all the time in talk.tiddlywiki.com (Google Groups before) because I like helping people but I also learn something all the time.
Each new release opens the possibilities even further, because “tiddlywikis bones” are so strong new features regularly open a whole new world of possibilities.
- I regularly return to the summary of previous releases and step through to check I have not missed something or not made full use of improvements.
I have taken a number of other paths like with @pmario and his custom wikitext project that also multiply the possibilities by “degrees of magnitude”.
A personal objective is to make use of advances to try and simplify the way complex or simple problems can be solved with a view to making it understandable for the whole community.
I consider TiddlyWIki a Platform and ideal for “Rapid solutions/application development” so I cultivate and design component solutions, that I can rapidly bring together to solve any problem. see this Bookmarklets, Just in Time install, Windows work flow and Timimi short video I made showing some. However I actively try and find and challenge any barriers or limitations I can find and participate here and Gut-hub to break down these barriers.
Recent work by @jeremyruston to expand the transclusions and parameters in a future release is just another example of something likely to occur in TiddlyWiki that will again expand the possibilities or allow more intuitive solutions. I feel it is my role to be a super user but not a developer to represent the designer/user perspective.
- Those with javascript skills often resort to javascript solutions and I have observed this is also often unnecessarily. Why need a plugin when the solution can be native tiddlywiki?
My Biggest re-occurring mistake?
- Is to almost always reinvent the wheel and not relying on the massive library of existing solutions by searching existing solutions from Mario, Eric and Mohammad to name a few. But then doing it myself I learn more, and find new ways.
Tiddlywiki could be an inspiration for a book?
- My book idea is “Occam’s Electric Shaver” about how we can build solutions to complex problems but these can then in turn be simplified, such that we can tackle even more complex problems and simplify these in turn.
- It is iteration into the complex that then collapses to the simple.
[Edit] I must also call out Jeds substantial resources such as bob and his plugins
Saq’s resources such as streams.
and Fibbles relink
