> I'm interested in using TW5 for my daily note taking. I very often takes notes with images. Sometimes the image is the only note.
Addressing this specific bit, i.e taking notes by mixing text and, presumably, "scribbled images" I would say TW is not ideal. I really wish it were, and I'll outline an idea below. Now, there *is* a built-in tool for drawing but it is somewhat crude and the tiddler is then of a special type, so it has to be a separate image i.e not the same as the one you type in. So it is not like scribbling notes with paper+pen. Out of curiosity; how would you actually draw the images as you take notes? Do you have special hardware? Because a regular laptop or mobile device is of course not ideal for the precision that arbitrary drawings usually need. With that said, here's a hypothetical solution. Some years back, I made an experiment with overlaying/drawing on top of images <http://overlay.tiddlyspot.com/> in TW which has similarities to the following: Fellow *tiddleur* Saq recently created Streams. It lets you create multiple tiddlers from the current one in a very seamless way, so that the created content is transcluded into the current one. So you don't leave the current tiddler. I would think Streams can be tweaked so that the use can select tiddler type for the note so to intersperse notes and drawings (and other content). If one wants overlapping content, as opposed to distinct subsequent sections of texts and notes, then I would also think that the display of the transclusions could be *styled to overlap* (and top one has a transparent background) so that you could, for example, encircle a word or draw an arrow from mid sentence to point to a subsequent image (that is not overlapping), etc. AFAICT this is doable and least in theory. <:-) On Saturday, July 31, 2021 at 3:45:35 PM UTC+2 Mark S. wrote: > TW isn't really suited for dealing with photos on a regular basis. > > The problem is that even a single high-res photo will bog down your TW > experience, especially saving and loading.
