looks very nice
Thanks. It could certainly do with some improvements, as it doesn't seem
very intuitive at the moment - so I'm hoping someone with a better sense
of UI design will come along and offer suggestions...
was your concept to use it as a menu? Or as a new way to navigate?
The basic idea is that tags are awesome, but easily under-used.
Large collections of tiddlers can be very intimidating, for authors and
readers alike. Tagging helps, but the usual single-level constraint is
limiting - especially because it constitutes a certain asymmetry between
assignment and retrieval.
The ability to drill into such collections by gradually refining the
filter should lighten the cognitive load. In addition, I expect this to
reveal relationships and "emergent hierarchies" among tiddlers.
(This is not an original idea of mine, of course - sites like Delicious
have long allowed multi-tag browsing. Nevertheless, the concept seems
exceptionally well-suited to the tiddler model and dynamic presentation
in a TiddlyWiki.)
I've started experimenting with this on TiddlyWeb documentation, which
proved useful and led to some unexpected insights:

(One of these insights is that more consistent tagging would be useful.)
