One thing we should add is a notebook theme or plugin that would convert the layout to more of a OneNote/Evernote layout where you can access your notebooks and notes on the left side, and edit them on the right. The sidebar should be moved to either the top right or bottom left and made collapsible by default. We should use the hamburger (aka menu) icon to toggle it.
Each notebook and note should have a slug which would be the full title of the tiddler and it would be named using slashes like on Wikipedia where there are parent and child pages. So it would look like "Notebook/My Notebook/My Note". We could even have that be an actual lowercase slug and put the real title in a different field. It should be made as complete as possible for a note taking layout and only give a cursory nod to the original story river. Perhaps have a button in the sidebar that switches to the story river view. I really think the biggest drawback to using TiddlyWiki for notes is using tags instead of prefixes to organize. Because a person can have notes on many different topics and some might have more than one tiddler with the same name. Just my two cents.
