G'day Mikel, and welcome to TiddlyWikiHood! (Or, less a mouthful: TiddlerHood !)
See if maybe my first TiddlyWiki project gives you some ideas: Le P'tit Aurèle <https://leptitaurele.neocities.org/> (a lexicon of Acadian French) If I was a "White Belt" in the art of TiddlerHood when I put together that first project, I'd say I may be a Yellow Belt today. And when I can find the time, I'll be revisiting that first project and making some changes based on the good stuff I've learned. Cheers and best regards !
