I do not visit TW Google Group anymore. I only visit them when they appear in search results or my notes have links to them.
There are some well-maintained TWs that have tutorials or guides, like the tobibeer filter guide, but they have rarely helped me solve my issue. TW search is designed to return results after matching words from the search query to the tiddler contents. It works great if you know the correct terms. But if you don’t, then good luck finding the relevant tiddlers. This is why TW guides offer little utility when stuck in a corner.
Oh! Great. Thank you so much. I had no idea. If possible, please share a few examples of using a log widget for debugging.
TW is poison for SEO. TW is a single file application that takes a noticeable time to load. SEO penalizes you if your site is slow to load. On top of it, web spiders are bad at processing JS. TWs score may improve now that data is stored in JSON format. But still.
The ideal solution is to host TWs as static websites on the web. Static website for bots and TW for the users who know it. Every page on the static website can have a banner, “see interactive TW on example.com/tw”.
But that would mean adding one more responsibility to the good samaritan who has already spent hours creating and compiling a guide.
Nothing interactive works, but all the links function well. A feature I just realized I would appreciate would be if the top link would send you to the page you’re viewing statically, here to
Perhaps we could introduce a “library of terms” where if one of the terms is in the search string, it uses the other terms in the search as well, basically also search for named synonyms.
Interestingly the subsequent number of results often indicates which of the synonyms is the the one in use in the wiki.
