I’m of the mindset that this forum is not the right kind of forum for new users. If I were new to TiddlyWiki and I look at the latest discussions, I would be immediately turned off because it seems like a discussion forum for seasoned/super users and/or technical folk. In my (maybe, maybe not) hum…

[image] PS12: I didn’t know this was possible Well, truth be told, I don’t have any special knowledge of discourse to know for sure. But I’m of the opinion, in general technical terms: why wouldn’t it be possible? What we are looking at now re TiddlyTalk, it is just a rendered page. Why co…

I would welcome a newbie friendly area/topic, because the developer-level discussion is pretty intimidating. I think part of what makes TiddlyWiki very difficult to start using is that new users are trying to solve two complicated problems simultaneously: Figuring out how to use an unusual and ex…

Dammit, I wish I could have written that. Very good stuff. [image] ahollar: I would hate to suggest hiding the higher-level discussion, For sure. I am all for the easy to find (noticeable) “turn on / opt-in” button, then easy to find “turn off / opt-out” (or the “oops, I am not ready for t…

Hey Charlie — I think Introduce Yourself, Start Here, or some other inviting beginner category is a great idea. We started with the default / Uncategorized forum of “Discussions” to mirror the “single thread” of Google Groups. If a new user just posts — they don’t have to pick a category. I know y…

[image] boris: Would be great if someone found some new users and interviewed them about what did / didn’t work for them. We can’t really know without identifying and asking new users. I would be happy to be interview as a new user but currently I am only willing to do this through text, not …

[image] boris: “Introduce Yourself” might be just the prompt to learn more about new users Ciao @boris , I think that is fine so long as at up-front is also … 1 - “Introducing TiddlyWiki for you …” 2 - “Introducing things this forum does …” Something like that. Overviews. You can’t just l…

[image] Charlie_Veniot: I would be immediately turned off because it seems like a discussion forum for seasoned/super users and/or technical folk. I think it is true that the Discourse forum has maybe gone a bit more tech talk than the GG. Per se that is not bad. But I would say the richness …

As a new, lurking user i suggest the following: For those who are not comfortable or are conservative -privacy-wise- in introducing themselves, an ‘introduce yourself’ section may be way too much / too invasive A dedicated Get Started section to help transition new users would be much more effecti…

Awesome — thanks for the feedback! By introduce yourself — I don’t mean being non anonymous, I mean “I’m a student who is looking for better class note taking” or whatever background about your needs / interest in TW. [image] Divine_Lotus: are normally seen as troubleshooting discussion for te…

[image] TiddlyTitch: I think it is true that the Discourse forum has maybe gone a bit more tech talk than the GG. Per se that is not bad. It is all about perspective. To me, it is brutally bad. Too broad-in-scope of a forum (i.e. everything and the kitchen sink), in and of itself a form of …

Is TiddlyTalk inviting for new (new-ish) users? I don't find
