Virtual tiddlers

This conversation needs to continue in my view, and @btheado and @Scott_Sauyet inspired me back to this subject here Concept: tag intersection - #22 by TW_Tones where bethido is placing filters into titles of missing tiddlers.

  • I will remove the making of a solution and annotate it so the conversation remains open, Given its very general title.

I led myself to believe I was following a new path into the world of “virtual tiddlers” but discovered here others words, even my own that had being here before, however I think I have opened my mind further as an explorer in this branch of the TiddlyVerse.

One key understanding is we tend to think of “the story” as the display of a list of tiddlers, and the nuanced example of a missing tiddler. However this view is heavily biased by our everyday use of the story. In fact the story is at most a list of titles, whether they have tiddlers or not.

When in fact the story is a list with enhancements view templates and now with the cascades, anything in that story can be treated anyway we want, be it hidden, missing to more advanced dashboards etc…

  • This means we can place anything we want into the “story” simply as a way to make it visible and navigable such as from the open list.
  • other approaches such as @BurningTreeC’s TiddlyFlex - a new Flexbox Layout for TiddlyWiki show other approaches to the story, such as multiple columns, each as a story. Imagin a column containing virtual tiddlers, the other regular tiddlers.
