As to the node-flattening issue.... i would like to see "wikitext" join the

So when I wrote "an actual real world example of what their content in 
Streams is like, and what an ideal exported version in a single tiddler in 
TiddlyWiki would look like" my expectation was for users to provide wikis 
with a representative example of their content in streams nodes, as well as 
a single tiddler version of it that they created by hand. For example one 
tiddler with some stream nodes, the content of which is representative of 
what their content is usually like. Plus one tiddler that is an 
amalgamation of those nodes into a single tiddler.

Having a few such examples might allow generalizing a few export options 
that fit most use cases. The problem with receiving proposals for 
solutions, rather than detailed description of the problem and related 
content, is that often the proposed solutions don't fulfil the actual needs 
or consider technical limitations they would impose. For example, your 
proposed solution would limit you to only ever having single line content 
in all your nodes.
 
Regarding use cases/workflows, I was referring to the manner in which 
people are using Streams for note taking (the original subject of this 
thread). We have a few examples now from Keelan, Si and others. It would be 
good to gather the descriptions of their workflows and add it to the 
documentation. This could later be fleshed out with details on other 
plugins, or wiki settings etc that they use to achieve their desired 
workflow. Since there is not a single prescribed workflow for using 
Streams, nor a vertical TiddlyWiki edition designed to accommodate it, 
having examples of how people use Streams would allow knowledge sharing 
amongst Streams user and be useful to the next person who has the same 
question as you regarding how to use Streams for note taking.

Help with collecting this to add it to the documentation would be greatly 
appreciated. The easiest thing to do would be to collect the information in 
a TiddlyWiki file. 

The other issue you've raised of particular interest to me is the mobile

Mobile usage is a tricky issue for TiddlyWiki. The design and UX really 
isn't optimized for it. In particular, the drag and drop mechanism doesn't 
work for all mobile browsers. This is a limitation of the browsers not 
implementing the relevant spec at all or properly. As such, implementing 
proper support for this is outside the scope of a single plugin.

As I've expressed during earlier conversations on the same topic, I do not 
intend to work on any mobile specific features or affordances for Streams 
beyond any low hanging fruit that can be achieved with minimal effort. 
Currently in Streams you can swipe on a node on mobile to trigger the 
context menu. Add your own commands to the context menu is the way to go 
for any features you absolutely need on mobile.

The interest in the swipe with visual feedback feature actually comes from 
a technical perspective. It is *very* impressive that such a thing can be 
achieved with just wikitext, so I would like to see it realized (time 
permitting) to serve as an example for others wanting to explore similar UX.

Cheers,
Saq
