Hi all, One goal that is always eluded me is the idea of having one TiddlyWiki file be a hub for all my notes, rather than spreading my notes out among several TiddlyWiki files. Tagging and hyperlinking will always be limited in application if one's ideas have to be spread out among different files. I have sensed I am not the only one who has seen TiddlyWiki as a potential route to a global personal information management tool. When node.js appeared I mistakenly thought it would be the solution to the filesize issue. But in practice it also slowed down with the inclusion of multiple images, etc.
On my Recursos.giffmex.org, to keep file size to a minimum and increase the speed at which files can be opened by site users, I am using a central TiddlyWiki file that links to numerous static HTML files. I am using the create static file from tiddler button found in the search area. This has been a helpful process for me, but it has a drawback. If I want to edit a static file, I must actually edit the tiddler in the originating file, then create a replacement static file, and replace the old static file with it. This is caused me to wonder if there could be such a thing as an html file that could act like a tiddler only in the sense that it also has an edit template, so that it could be edited in the same way a tiddler is edited. That way the central TiddlyWiki could act as a hub with external links to small, easily editable HTML files that act as articles or entries. With such a system, a TiddlyWiki file could conceivably be a much more extensible knowlege base, since each tiddler in the central file would be small, only a hyperlink to the html file, plus any tags and internal hyperlinks to related tiddlers. And the html files would be small, basically the size of the static files I create now, plus the edit template mechanism. Of course, there would also be the need to quickly create such editable files from within the TW file. I am guessing that this is all just wishful thinking, but it doesn't hurt to ask if this is in the realm of possibility, does it? Does this give any of you developers some bright ideas?
