Hi Alberto I just wanted to chime in with some encouragement. tw5.scholars was a great piece of work, and MagicTabs is exactly what it should become. Things like the type manager show how you're creating a meta-tool for helping people to create their own custom tools, much more easily than with TiddlyWiki on its own. It's ambitious, but I think extends TW in useful ways. It's the kind of thing we need to help TW reach a larger audience.
So, good luck, and I'll be following with interest, Best wishes Jeremy On Fri, Feb 6, 2015 at 11:59 AM, Tobias Beer <[email protected]> wrote: > Alberto, > > Don't worry about that.
