[tw5] Experimenting with side-by-side tiddlers

Just playing around with an idea for side-by-side tiddler viewing and editing.

Without making any changes to core tiddlers, something I am increasingly trying to avoid.

In the attached json, you’ll find tiddlers a, b, and c.

c transcludes tiddlers a and b.

Each with a transclusion template for just viewing the tiddlers, and again each but with a transclusion template for editing the tiddlers.

Somebody has likely done the same kind of thing, in which case maybe somebody can post a link to previously done work.

Sneak a peek and see if there’s anything in there that’s of interest. Download and drag into tiddlywiki.com

@Charlie_Veniot … Just playing around with an idea for side-by-side tiddler viewing and editing…

Interesting experiment to make it so explicit. In a way it is obvious. In another way it isn’t till you see it live.

Such TWOs are kinda illuminative.

This does give me a swirl of ideas, but I can’t really put my finger on any of them. This old sponge of mine, the creaky wheels are spinning something silly.

The one immediate thought I had: if I were to setup an “authoring” TiddlyWiki for maintaining multiple language versions of tiddlers, this is the way I would go.

A “host” tiddler for every “English content” tiddler (or whatever language) and every “translated content” tiddler (one for every language of interest).

The “host” tiddler is used to manage all of the “content” tiddlers, including the place to keep meta-data about the content: descriptions, todo’s, history, whatever.

From that “authoring” TiddlyWiki, generate “language-specific” TiddlyWiki instances for any one language, and/or instances with multiple languages, with or without the “host” tiddlers.

Oh, another thought I have my finger on: kanban.

And for both of those thoughts: figure out a pretty interface for multi-column and multi-row version of this side-by-side thing.

Oh, another thought: tiddler-hosted side-by-side story rivers …
