How Much Effort Would a Completely New UI be?

@CodaCoder

It took me a couple of weeks to shroud my wife’s portfolio TiddlyWiki for a university course. To look at, it’s much like a blog, I guess – certainly nothing like a TiddlyWiki

The result might be interesting, is this something you want to/can share?

Unfortunately, no.

There are probably a 100 more features, that are difficult to implement atm. There are a probably a 100 things, that we did wrong in the current structure, but backwards compatibility makes changes hard.

Definitely backwards compatibility is a core feature that we can’t afford to lose, but what about a codemod script that takes a wiki and rewrites it to be compatible with modern CSS?

@jeremyruston

“TWX”, which is a future re-working of the TiddlyWiki core that would distill everything we’ve learned from TiddlyWiki 5 but wouldn’t be backwards compatible. It might be very different than TW5: for example, a kernel written in Go or Rust that runs under WASM in the browser. My current thinking is that the first incarnation might not be a wiki at all, but a Figma-like shared vector editor with all the organisation, transclusion and composition features of TiddlyWiki.

I guess TWX might eventually come to save the day

May I add another suggestion, Thomas Elmiger’s Plugins
A number of items on this page show layout options Tix being the latest, simpler versions such as Btx Bottom toolbar experience, Lox and Tix - A new kind of tiddler experience – incredibly flexible and configurable thanks to several parts: top, header, the standard tiddler body and a footer.
See Tix configuration for example.
