Hey guys,
I am new here and the world of tiddlys. I am enjoying a lot with the idea
of just one file with unlimited customizations. I shall go ahead to put my
use case and the queries, I hope you guys can help me out.
1. *About me*: engineer; knows basic programming, can learn too; currently
preparing for an exam - that required me to set up notes (and revise them).
My subject of study as of now is Anthropology.
2.* Use Case: *As I said, I need to prepare notes. The topics are
referenced to and from from many topics and are a bit dynamic at times
(current developments etc.). Also, I needed it to be a bit reasy to revise
later (or Spaced repetition maybe).
3.
*The TiddlerWikis Experience: *
- I was searching for a note taking app; Went on to find Notion,
Obsidian, RemNotes and TiddlyWiki.
- Notion - Online; Data policies; a bit difficult to keep track on;
interface is turnoff. (For me) (Was not sure of exports either)
- Obsidian - everything seemed good. I invested a lot of time too.
but was only on desktop. I work on iPad too (atleast read). Too many
different .md files to handle.
- RemNotes - I liked this one thouroughly. It has Spaced repetetion
in itself free at the moment, decent interface, and Roam like. But before
finding it, I fell in love with the Stroll TiddlerWiki and now I have a
dilemma.
- TIddlerWiki - I found it somewhere in the Obsidian forum (a shout
of thanks to that user). Felt incredible for its simplicity and the open
source nature. People collaborating for something this great. The
collaboration amongst humans is what I am studying in Anthropology, so.
Anyway, I played around tiddly for a while. Tried to host it, plugins
from
the dynalist toolkit list, and many things.
- The tiddlerwiki I started using was Stroll. It had backlinking, and
its something I was looking for. Then, I tried importing some plug-ins
of
my interest. eg. TiddlyMaps (despite warnings by the Stroll
developer),
Leaflets for embedding maps (required for me or I can manage with
images
(but maps cooool! :p). I tried a simple flowchart too.
- The problem: TiddlerMap is interfereing with Stroll. I wanted to
keep it a bit smaller in the sidebar itself? Is it possible??
4. The queries:
- Suggestion for the Tiddlywik to use. eg. Stroll, TiddlyRoam, Drift (my
new favourite).
- For now I am building on Drift (I found it this morning and I like
it. Stroll is good too, but I like the feel, some new features and looks
of
drift.
- How to use TiddlyMaps without much trouble?
- I just want a basic flow of my tiddlers. I don't want icons, I can do
fine with just a small circle with the name of the node on hover.
- The current plugin interferes with two stories plug-in : in both
stroll and drift.
- Should I be using TiddlyWiki in the first place? I don't have a lot of
programming knowledge, just basics. I like to dig in though and try to
tweak with what I know.
- I have limited time though. I want to be able to start putting in
notes without altering the setup once done.
- How to edit the wiki from multiple devices? iPad, Phone and Laptop?
- Currently, I do this way:
- I have TiddlyDesktop intalled. I edit there. The folder
containing .html is synced on drive. The backup is in a separate
folder.
- Then, I have this app called TIddloidLite. Where I can open
that file from the drive itself. and even save after edit. I am happy
with
it for now.
- And in drive I had this drive extension: TiddlyDrive....Which
enabled me to edit on android earlier. But now app does better. But
that
link from the drive, I am using to edit on iPad. Safari doesn't work.
but
the app called Documents is able to do so. I dont know why...?
- So basically, is there a way I can streamline all of this? or
this is fine?
- I had tried github, tiddlyspot things too. But went too complex
for me.
- Also, I liked this tool, TiddlyRemember, I did everything but
couldn't get it setup. If those guys are here, can they help me a bit?
Thanks for reading this long post. A long and selfish post maybe.
Regards,
DummyMe
