Welcome back Mohammad! Diving in with some heavyweight thoughts! Fit tiddlywiki on a floppy!...(I found some in an old lap top bag the other day....none of my students knew what it was.) I've not been a party to the dev/ github discussions but as much as new and shiny appeals, losing say, tidgraph...NOOOOO. But then my existing wiki isn't going anywhere I guess (at least now I have a backup from tiddlyspot!). Or would it be a case of SOME things breaking, SOME things still working? How radical an overhaul is it? Tiddlywiki classic, 5.1-classic and shiny...hmmm
