preview pane, the editor is little more than a textarea box. If we could get it to look as good as the editor we use when posting messages to this group, I would be ecstatic. And it would make life a lot easier on the new users without detracting from Tiddlywiki's power.
I have had the very same thought, multiple times when typing a TW group message into Google Groups - "I want */this /*editor in TW!" Especially since I tend to move between Markdown (er, CommonMark :) and TW quite a bit, and am always using the wrong syntax (I posted a pull request to another project on GitHub the other day and used TW's link syntax!)
The editor would still need a way to "drop to native syntax" for specifying widgets, defining macros, etc., but for the type of people (including me at times) who just want to use TW for quick notetaking and not have to remember the syntax for bolding, I think it would be a huge win. In fact, given that Ctrl-B, Ctrl-I, Ctrl-U are almost all uniform in meaning across most WYSIWYG editors, just having those three hot keys enabled would be a great start.
Tiddlywiki is also, by a fair margin, the most sophisticated program I've run into in years (and I'll wager my number of years in the computer field rival anyone else's)
I've been 35 years "in the industry," 27 with "programmer/engineer/architect" attached to my title. Am I close? :)
