G'day, Always an index, for myself and especially for others when I drop my TiddlyWiki instances, as-is, on hosted sites. I don't think any of these would be much use with search as the mechanism to find content:
- Le P'tit Aurèle: un lexique du français acadien / a lexicon of Acadian French <https://leptitaurele.neocities.org/> - *(My very first TiddlyWiki project, I'm in the midst of overhauling this one.)* - - Charlie's Favourite Stuff and Projects <https://intertwingularityslicendice.neocities.org/CJ_ProductReviews.html> - This started off as a "Products Review" TiddlyWiki, and turned into an experiment to make one TiddlyWiki look like four different TiddlyWiki's when there is so much in common between the four purposes that it seem silly to maintain four different TiddlyWiki instances - Product Reviews - Urban Off-Gridding for Laypersons - Hydro Bill Cutting for Laypersons - Chromebook: Beyond Web Browsing - - My online curriculum vitae <https://cjveniot.neocities.org/> - My "Tifoist" project <https://tifoist.neocities.org/>: *T*ifoist *I*s a *F*act-*O*riented *I*nformation-*S*emanticization *T*ool - *Imagine using TiddlyWiki for fact-based information modelling and database engineering !!!* - TiddlyWiki Programming Fundamentals <https://tiddlywiki-programming.neocities.org/> - (That sounds "authoritative", but it definitely isn't; it is really all about throwing new things I learn, discoveries/experiments, newbie stuff, in there. Maybe it might be somewhat semi-authoritative someday, maybe not ... just a fun way to write stuff) You'll notice that some of these are presented in my new favourite way: hide most TiddlyWiki elements when the sidebar is collapsed. Cool topic for discussion. Cheers ! On Wednesday, June 9, 2021 at 9:40:08 PM UTC-3 iamdar...@gmail.com wrote: > First I apologize if this is a taboo topic.
