Hello Shay Shaked
> I'm deep into my second year using TW, mostly as a journal. > I do exactly that. From travel expenses to training sessions. I love TW, and I've been always looking to use it on my phone (Android, > Nexus 5X) as a note taking app, possibly as Google Keep replacement. > Me too OK yes, TW is not *meant *for quick note taking, at least not that way, > and requires some care to really make things shine out (my online Wiki is > an example I'm proud of). > > I have the same requirements as you. That's why I go through the journey of creating my own app. > *First question*: Am I right? Have you used TW as your preferred quick > notes app on your phone, and if so, what's your method? > As I said, yes I do. My strategy is composed of several parts, but it is heavily based on my own tiddlywiki edition: https://noteself.github.io The first part of my strategy is to create a VERY SPECIFIC form for adding the kind of information that I usually add. This includes input text with auto-completion, select lists, and that stuff. Then I have a dashboard tiddlers with several tabs with one form on each tab The second part of my strategy includes the usage of my NoteSelf android app. The cool thing is that I can share a text from any other application and it will be added as a tiddler. Not the most useful thing in the world, but saves some keystrokes. The third part of my app consist on the multi device synchronization of NoteSelf. 99% of my content is produced while I'm on my laptop. Thanks to the multi device sync I can create basic versions of the tiddlers on mobile and then I edit properly on my laptop. For scrapping snippets and links what I usually do is share the link with my android app and then copy the snippet when I arrive to my home. > > *Second question: *How stable do you think is TW, and is it here to stay? > How do you keep tabs? How often? > I've been using it for years. But I really think that is a better idea to close the tab when you are not using it. Tiddlywiki does not manage over-writings very well. Even using NoteSelf, which uses a database shared across all the tabs I don't usually keep them open. > > And a question that follows from that, one that I ask again because it's > been a while: how and where do you learn about new plugins or features that > are useful for you? Themes? > > Here on the group. Sadly, it is VERY HARD to keep visibility when you publish a new plugin. There is a list on reddit, but I'm not sure how up to date it is. > *Third question: *What do you, TW users, use as your favorite note taking > app and your To-Do app, if it's *not *TW? > I use Tiddlywiki for everything except for TODOS. The reason behind this is that I need reminders, widgets, repetitions, notifications... and that is not possible wit TW at the moment. I also like keeping my notes apart from my todos. However, I have plans to allow Tiddlywiki to raise android notifications when running on my android app, but that is just a future plan.
