'lo all…
I’m trying to get started with the Tidme edition of TiddlyWiki, but I’m completely stuck on what seems like the most basic workflow.
I have experience with spaced repetition systems like SuperMemo, Anki, etc, so I understand the concept, but the Tidme documentation doesn’t explain the process of how to use the edition for that purpose.
I’ve followed the initial steps, but I get lost immediately afterward.
Here is the simple, linear workflow I’ve tried, and where I get stuck:
- I use the “squid tool” to see my decks.
- I click “Create Deck” to set up a new one.
- I click on the new deck I’ve created (e.g., “$:/Deck/new 1”).
- The system opens the deck’s tiddler (
$:/Deck/new 1
), but then I don’t know what to do.
At this point, I see a “Start Study” link. This is confusing as I haven’t added any content to the deck yet. Clicking it just opens the “Tidme” tiddler, which appears to be an “About” page for Tidme.
My key questions are:
-
How do I add a new piece of knowledge to a deck?
-
What is the correct process for creating an item to study?
- Do I use the
+
button to create a tiddler anywhere and then tag it to link it to the deck? - Is there a specific “New Item” button within a deck’s tiddler?
- Do I use the
I feel like I’m missing a crucial, simple step that connects the “deck” to the “items to study.” The current “manual” is of little help for a first-time user of Tidme and provides no information on this fundamental process.
Maybe someone has already worked out a clear, step-by-step guide for this basic workflow?
- How to set up a new deck.
- How to add new study items (e.g., a simple card or cloze deletion).
- How to then begin the study process.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a heap.
