Hi Jon, > and of course let me know how I can improve it..
.. thanks for having an open ear for suggestions. Though reading your own 'to do list' at http://preview.tinyurl.com/5yb26c it seems you're pretty aware what still needs to be done to make tiddlytagmindmap useful. - However, having it side by side compared with a more matured hypergraph does show its real shortcomings very well. The most obvious: TagMindMap shows you the relation of an opened tiddler to immediate tiddlers really nice - but it doesn't show an index or map of the whole content, or the position in relation to such. And increasing the dept of relation from 1 to 2 doesn't solves this, as it than gets truly confusing. For example, just tried to find your tiddler 'Work to be done (tiddlytagmindmap)' again - and it took me much more time than it would have with the ordinary tabs of a TW of the same size of content. So it doesn't replace the navigation of a TabTags or TagCloud yet at all. And it's much harder for me than with hypergraph to have a doable solution for this equal shortcoming (but maybe we just haven't found the proper way to tag yet?) Nevertheless, necessary addition in this direction I would consider: # the ability to customize its size: it wasn't possible for me to give it a 100% width (or any other value) in the stylesheet to use more screen space, since the nodes wouldn't synchronize with the position of the cycles. Only by hacking the original plugin code was it possible to give it some wider fixed value. # vertical size customize-ability: even more urgent because if an immediate related tiddler is on a cycle above or below it isn't visible. # drag ability: this would help much more than increasing its vertical size, which is limited if one also wants to see tiddlers. # the ability to place it where and how one wants: first thing I did, hide the slider button and toggle its div with a tiddlytools toggle bookmarklet. I really like your idea of combining it with TiddlyDesktop, but there it would be much more useful in a tiddler than in the background, since only this tiddler would have to be brought to the foreground, and not all others minimized for having the overview. # zoom peripheral cycles gap and nodes out. # customize-able connectors between nodes: less obtrusive and than maybe dept 2 would be much more useful. # don't combine its distribution with a custom TW like Mptw, but stripe it to its essentials. Otherwise you make it harder to setup for newcomers to TW. ... I think that already enough for now ;-) and that TagglyTagMindMap will become a really useful contribution.
