@Edgaras, that's really great stuff. As Saq says, the way to the core or the standard edition goes via plugins for backward compatibility but also because it more easily allows an iterative process with community input and testing.
@TonyM, you're lifting the issue to a general critique of how many newcomers approach TW. While I partly agree, you're hijacking Edgaras thread here. None of your bullets are about what is being discussed here other than in some meta sense. @Edgaras - some specific opinions: - The + at top right corner, i.e "create new tiddler", is a too frequently used to be so subtle and off center. - Consider that on wide monitors, things that are stuck to the sides can get very distant. - What are the do/redo arrows for? - For smoother acceptance, I'd suggest not changing stuff that are not part of your direct proposal. For example, I imagine that using another edit icon isn't really a feature you really care for. And while the white background is perhaps pretty, it washes out the tiddler. I understand that's a matter of opinion but, then, I don't think it is the background coloring that "makes TW difficult" which I believe is your general target objective. - For meta info area: Custom fields are way more used than Content type. - There are a few system fields <https://tiddlywiki.com/#TiddlerFields> e.g *color, _canonical_uri, list, class* that IMO would benefit from more exposure (still in the meta info area) to raise awareness of them (because they're useful). Not sure exactly how it should be manifested, so I'm just saying. - I want to immediately see if a tiddler is being edited or not. I guess part of your mockup is about hiding this but something needs to make the distinction immediately obvious. I suggest making the Done button (i.e the checkmark) be in red color while editing anything. This is subtle, yet distinct and is equivalent behaviour to the whole wiki Save button. A thing to consider is that TW is almost exclusively for personal use. "Practical" is more important than "Pretty". While most of us probably prefer minimalism, it is still critical with immediate access to e.g the sidebar lists etc. I think a good rule of thumb is "The more used, the more prominent it needs to be" Thank you for working with this, Edgaras! Your thoughts come at a good time also, considering Jeremys ideas for big changes <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/4473> that, BTW, may, or may not, be backward compatible. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
