For me, the basic advantage of an outliner program (Dynalist, Workflowy, Roam) is the writing experience. Everything is in bullet points. Hit enter to start a new line, hit tab to indent, and when you hit enter for a new line, your next line is also indented to that level, etc. And by dragging the bullets you can rearrange the order and indenting of any line. So it is a really great way to write, and to order and reorganize one's thoughts on a topic. Very freeing compared to writing in TiddlyWiki: if you use the unordered list, you need to do shift+8 to add * or ** or *** every new line, or write loosely, use a toolbar button to add one * for every line, and manually add the extra levels of * for the lines that need it. If you don't use bulleted lists, new paragraphs require two newlines, not one, and indenting requires other actions that take one away from typing (wrapping in a span class, or using : , which only affects the first line, etc). And these delays really add up. Another advantage of these is that if you have a pro account you can drag images right into it, and copy the link to insert them wherever you want. Another is that you can add tags to each line and do searches for tags across multiple outliner documents. There was a way, probably still exists, to replicate the 'ordered list / enter for new line / tab for indent' experience in TiddlyWiki, but the cost was too high for me - it meant losing access to the editortoolbar. I think it also required a different tiddler type, and if I remember, there were other drawbacks as well associated with that aspect. If there were a way to do enter-and-tab without such a huge cost, I would use TiddlyWiki for almost everything, and would not feel much pressure to switch between Tiddlywiki and outliners. Although Roam....very enticing once they get their defects weeded out. I hope that answers your question about the game changer features. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
