This is a FANTASTIC idea. Bravo. Will be digesting alongside the Tiddlywiki-on-Fission work being done.
Are we starting to approach a 'standard' "Link Tiddler" format? That's also cool to see, as I intend to have a few different wikis to curate links for various topics. Setting one up for Tiddlywiki-focused bookmarks only will be easy. :) Best, Joshua Fontany On Sunday, March 21, 2021 at 12:09:43 PM UTC-7 Mat wrote: > Well, it should come as no surprise what I think of this: > > HOOORAYYY!!!! > > Thank you Jeremy!
