Ciao cj.v..., *Very nice post. *Couple of things ...
First, questions ... *-- Am I right that you using Zim via Linux on Chromebook?* *-- I also wondered a bit about if we could create for TW easier import gizmos to de-Zim Markdown to full WikiText? (Just a thought!)* Second, comments on the AIM ... *-- I was kinda wondering what the optimal COMMON cross-browser and cross-platform way might be nowadays?* *-- What I find INTERESTING is that, longer-term, we tend to gravitate to what we (a) know reasonably well [i.e. produces least cock-ups on the practicals]; and (b) the ENVIRONS of work matter [e.g. Chromebooks are really neat in that getting the cat-to-fly either works or it doesn't. At least you know where you are with it.]* *-- Just FYI I tend to write/copy-paste notes into any text file and then process that for TW import prep using Powershell scripts with a lot of Regex.* *This reflects my background as they about the only two things I'd say I'm good at.* Signing off from the far side, TT x On Thursday, 5 August 2021 at 05:05:23 UTC+2 cj.v...@gmail.com wrote: > *A "Note Taking in 2021 (article & reflection) > <https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/vlAZ_K4K63o/m/kj96TF4PAQAJ>" > offshoot ...* > > I've been really thinking about it a lot lately: although TiddlyWiki is my > goto tool for serious information/knowledge/content management, it isn't my > preferred tool when I do want to quickly want to write something down for > later TiddlyWiki-ing. > > So I was thinking, whatever tool(s) I prefer use in particular > circumstance(s), I'd want some real synergy (?) between TiddlyWiki and the > other tool(s): i.e. they compliment each other, and it is easy for me to > copy content from one to the other, with TiddlyWiki being the central tool > for that serious information/knowledge/content management. > > Although gmail, google calendar and google keep tend to be my goto tools > for quick jotting things down, I've been looking into the business of > quickly writing more elaborate content on my chromebook (my goto machine > for digital whatever, since I don't have a tablet and hate using > smartphones unless I really have to.) > > So after a lot of looking around (I still have some more experimenting to > do), I think my star candidate is Zim Wiki for quick writing of things for > later inclusion in a TiddlyWiki for some serious work. > > - To me, a wiki is not a wiki unless it can do transclusion, so a > consider Zim Wiki "wiki-esque" > - So TiddlyWiki is the real workhorse because of transclusion and the > muscle of filtering > > Early-going, I'm finding TiddlyWiki + Zim pretty sweet with "markdown" > being the cross-copying glue between the two. > > Some notes about Zim: > > - really fast *(because not all content is loaded up in memory all at > once ?)* > - *every page saved in its own text file* > - wysiwyg is nice > - has some nice plugins > - Might be nice for some things, but I'm mostly focused on just > content that fits "markdown" > - preference option: default format for copying text to the > clipboard > - text, Wiki (Zim's wikitext), *Markdown*, RST > - has some nice plugins > - might be nice for some things, but I'm mostly focused on just > content that fits "markdown" > > To copy content from Zim to TiddlyWiki, I'm pretty sure "markdown" is the > key to happiness: > > - Zim's copy page text to clipboard in markdown format > - the TiddlyWiki Markdown plugin > <https://tiddlywiki.com/plugins/tiddlywiki/markdown/>, so that > markdown text can be pasted into a "text/x-markdown" tiddler > > This is going to be one evolving story about "The synergy of TiddlyWiki + > { ??? }.
