Hi Mat I admire your ability to turn around mockups, they work really well and communicate very clearly.
I've actually also thought about having a "help" mode, I think it could work well, but obviously not something I want to do during the moratorium. I'm keen to get some reworking of GettingStarted for 5.1.6 (which is now a few days overdue) so I've incorporated some of your ideas in an update here: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commit/2698f088517c186705c390362dd516f2709d7141 I'd appreciate comments and suggestions. The approach to giving different instructions for different browsers is clumsy. On tiddlywiki.com/index.html we use the browser-sniff plugin that lets us conditionally show material based on the current browser. To use that in GettingStarted we'd need to move that plugin into the core. I do wonder whether these blow-by-blow instructions are appropriate in empty.html. The alternative would be to have a "getting started" edition (perhaps the same as the "introduction" edition) that is specially geared to taking the user step-by-step through the installation and saving process. Once the user has achieved that tutorial then maybe they'd be best served with an empty.html that was relatively brief, mostly being links to material elsewhere. Note that one feature that is implemented is that the "Saving" tab of GettingStarted is swapped out for different material when using the client-server edition. I've also updated the prerelease: http://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/empty.html I haven't embedded the video because there are some privacy issues - as things stand, Google/YouTube would get pinged each time empty.html was opened (including when opened locally from a file: URI). We need a new video macro that displays a local static thumbnail until it is clicked. Best wishes Jeremy.
