Adam, The control of TiddlyWikis UI is extensive, it provides a framework that can be co-opted into many forms as is exemplified by two examples
- *The Demo page: http://muritest.tiddlyspot.com <http://muritest.tiddlyspot.com/> (tiddly demo)* - *The Plugin page: tiddlytouch.tiddlyspot.com <http://tiddlytouch.tiddlyspot.com/> (latest changes and development infos)* And This Kanban view ! Look familiar? https://ibnishak.github.io/Tesseract/projects/tekan/Tekan.html Make sure you click on the page button to which it refers. Basically the UI can be taken as far as you want, a bit like using a WordPress back-end but a fully customised front end. But of course you may want such a drastically different front end that having to buy into TiddlyWikis UI may not seem worthwhile, but just consider what you get for your money, if you do?. What I am saying is make sure you learn more before you make general assumptions.
