That Roam demo was what made me recently want to get back into knowledge 
organization. Looking at self-hostable options, I decided to check back in 
with TW for the first time since ~2007. With the backlink footer, it's 
really, really close to what I want--but I'm struggling to figure out how 
to define a filter that will excerpt even a fixed-size chunk around the 
original link. (Turns out it's challenging to deal with referring to more 
than one tiddler at a time in your first go at the syntax.) If you end up 
working it out--or even if you've got ideas about how it should be 
done--please share. I was figuring it would be my weekend project to take 
another stab at. :)
