S S, I empathise with your position. One of my personal advances has being building a feature called context, for each tiddler. Containing Domain, Project, Client fields. I found a new tiddler drop down can now generate new items "in context" by populating the current context fields.Some gains pay off forever. One way to know which improvements are of value and others of less value, is evaluating what others do in the community, their hard won gains, as a result we need to share, but sharing should not be too high barrier, or we will share less. Its basically a balancing game.
