Mat Point 4 - There can be an over-superior attitude to after-TWC that is ill-informed.
As Eric comments important things were achieved in TWC that remain elusive in TW5. FWIW, I would not be using TW unless I had stumbled on http://tiddlytools.com/. I never really used TWC extensively. Eric's wiki blew my mind though. It stuck with me. The sheer richness and flexibility was gobsmacking at the time. I was heavily into blog systems like Movable Type. I blew away their over strictness. It fixed "TiddlyWiki" in my mind. It is still very impressive. Its not just a testament to "then", it is a rich resource for now.- TT On Saturday, 16 May 2020 12:54:01 UTC+2, Mat wrote: > > Disregarding the irony of the very title: > > In another thread someone requested more attention to TiddlyWiki > Classic/TWC/TW2, i.e the predecessor to TW5.
