Discussion:
[tw] Request: Advanced Tips from Veteran TW users (discussion, not technical)

Hello all,

I'm deep into my second year using TW, mostly as a journal.
I have an understanding of some core concepts of TW, like creating Macros
(simple ones), themes with CSS to customize TW and such... you know nothing *too
*crazy. If you want, you can totally check out my Tech Wiki (SSTech),
hosted on my website at shayshaked.com.


OK, here come the very broad questions...

I love TW, and I've been always looking to use it on my phone (Android,
Nexus 5X) as a note taking app, possibly as Google Keep replacement. I
tried AndTidWiki, and built a basic to-do list work around to help me in
the past (it's documented in this group somewhere) but this never took off.
The problems are mostly is that the android app and TW slow to use as a
quick note taking app. In Keep, for example, I capture a quick serial and
model number of an asset, then tag it, and the app extracts the text out of
the image, and bam I have it ready. With TW, I need to open, right it down,
if I take a photo, I need to edit it on a different app, than put it in the
write media folder for TW, then link it, then make sure I'm using the right
syntax... who has time for that?
OK yes, TW is not *meant *for quick note taking, at least not that way,
and requires some care to really make things shine out (my online Wiki is
an example I'm proud of).

*First question*: Am I right? Have you used TW as your preferred quick
notes app on your phone, and if so, what's your method?

TW is developed with love mostly in this group. I believe AndTidWiki hasn't
been really updated since 2013, and is mostly not widely known. While this
is fine and all, and this group is always brimming with ideas and
developments... sometimes I wonder if it's alive. You know that feeling?
The constant worry of any user of any platform these days, worrying his
favorite app is going to vaporize into thin air tomorrow morning, and no
one would notice? To be fair, that's one of the major fears I have with
Keep too, especially because it's from Google. One of the VIP wakes up one
morning and decide "nope! no more of that!" and that's the end of Keep.

*Second question: *How stable do you think is TW, and is it here to stay?
How do you keep tabs? How often?

And a question that follows from that, one that I ask again because it's
been a while: how and where do you learn about new plugins or features that
are useful for you? Themes?



Over time, I learned to appreciate the Unix philosophy. I have TW, and TW
is a Wiki, and as such it's not *meant *to be a quick note taking app, or a
Todo app. Yes, I am totally contradicting myself. I'm wondering in general
:p. OK, so if I want to stay *away *from the big cloud companies like
Google and Microsoft and Apple and even Dropbox if possible, what kind of
apps are out there that work well, are visual (include images, which is
very helpful for me, with annotation would be a HUGE plus), that work
independently? And if not completely independent, at least offer a clean
(and free!) exporting option as a form of backup? A good example of an app
that *doesn't *do that is Evernote. Simplenote is an example of an app that
lets you at least extract all your text files and save them locally as
well.

OK, let's break the question down.

*Third question: *What do you, TW users, use as your favorite note taking
app and your To-Do app, if it's *not *TW? Especially as TW users, who
respect and like TW, but feel that it does only Wiki... stuff? What have
you learned to count on?





This is a whole lot of questioning. By no means, I am hoping for a full,
long, response that addresses ALL of the above. But opinions would be nice.
I do hope that this discussion would stirr some minds around here maybe and
contribute more to TW somehow. TW has been a blessing so far, I love it!

Hello Shay Shaked

I do exactly that. From travel expenses to training sessions.

Me too

I have the same requirements as you. That's why I go through the journey of
creating my own app.
Post by Shay Shaked
*First question*: Am I right? Have you used TW as your preferred quick
notes app on your phone, and if so, what's your method?
As I said, yes I do.

My strategy is composed of several parts, but it is heavily based on my own
tiddlywiki edition: https://noteself.github.io

The first part of my strategy is to create a VERY SPECIFIC form for adding
the kind of information that I usually add. This includes input text with
auto-completion, select lists, and that stuff. Then I have a dashboard
tiddlers with several tabs with one form on each tab

The second part of my strategy includes the usage of my NoteSelf android
app. The cool thing is that I can share a text from any other application
and it will be added as a tiddler. Not the most useful thing in the world,
but saves some keystrokes.

The third part of my app consist on the multi device synchronization of
NoteSelf. 99% of my content is produced while I'm on my laptop. Thanks to
the multi device sync I can create basic versions of the tiddlers on mobile
and then I edit properly on my laptop. For scrapping snippets and links
what I usually do is share the link with my android app and then copy the
snippet when I arrive to my home.
Post by Shay Shaked
*Second question: *How stable do you think is TW, and is it here to stay?
How do you keep tabs? How often?
I've been using it for years. But I really think that is a better idea to
close the tab when you are not using it. Tiddlywiki does not manage
over-writings very well. Even using NoteSelf, which uses a database shared
across all the tabs I don't usually keep them open.
Post by Shay Shaked
And a question that follows from that, one that I ask again because it's
been a while: how and where do you learn about new plugins or features that
are useful for you? Themes?
Here on the group. Sadly, it is VERY HARD to keep visibility when you
publish a new plugin. There is a list on reddit, but I'm not sure how up to
date it is.
Post by Shay Shaked
*Third question: *What do you, TW users, use as your favorite note taking
app and your To-Do app, if it's *not *TW?
I use Tiddlywiki for everything except for TODOS. The reason behind this is
that I need reminders, widgets, repetitions, notifications... and that is
not possible wit TW at the moment. I also like keeping my notes apart from
my todos.
However, I have plans to allow Tiddlywiki to raise android notifications
when running on my android app, but that is just a future plan.

Regards

Hi Danielo,

A few questions --

What mobile device do you use?

What mobile browser?

How long does it take for a TW file to come up? It takes about 20 seconds
on my tablet and 30 seconds on my phone. This makes it difficult to take
quick notes.

Do you add images to noteself?

My problem with noteself is that you're still depending on someone else's
cloud storage. Does noteself have an option to encrypt the data on the
server?

Thanks!
Mark

Hello Mark!

Thanks for answering my questions thoroughly. I took a look at your app,
and I don't think I'll try it right now, but you did give me an idea -
create a specific note *type *for what information needs to be entered, and
basically, have it ready on my phone. After all, we're talking HTML files,
so what's the big deal of just contributing to a tidder which will
eventually be imported into my main TW?

The only issue I see is right syncronazation. In the past, I had a somewhat
complex mechanism that would update my TW via dropbox and Google Drive, and
I'm not really interested in getting back at that just because I want to
implement a ToDo mechanism. It's kinda of going backward for me, you know?
I'm going to think some more...

Hi Shay,

Some name confusion. I think you're referring to Danielo's excellent
suggestions.

About synchronization. If you're still using a desktop or laptop, then you
can use something like Synchthing to synchronize your files. In theory (as
I understand it) you could leave your device running and synch to it from
somewhere off-site via relays (though I've never tried it).

About Thomas Elmiger's ToDoNow plugin for TW, it's actually pretty
intuitive to use. What may be missing is the on-ramp. The secret is, just
open TodoNowTiddler. Close every thing else. The TNT is the main dashboard
and allows you to add new items, organize them by priority and date,
quickly put them into projects (tags), and add notes (including
checklists). About 30 minutes of playing and you should know everything you
need to get started.

The GTD "cult" probably got a boost from the Franklin-Covey thing, which
was like an industry-driven cult (Big business is swamped with 'cults' and
'memes', usually loaded down with acronyms). It reminds me of the
"Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" which outsold its competitors because it
was (1) Cheaper and (2) Emblazened with the words "Don't Panic". The FC
people were busy attending expensive seminars and purchasing expensive
custom notebooks. By contrast, Allen's book was $10, called for no
expensive supplies, and he advocated a zen-like approach to make your mind
"like water."

Good luck!
Mark

Excellent to have this laid out so well ... I'll comment on ToDos

*Third question: *What do you, TW users, use as your favorite note taking
Post by Shay Shaked
app and your To-Do app, if it's *not *TW? Especially as TW users, who
respect and like TW, but feel that it does only Wiki... stuff? What have
you learned to count on?
I'm old and worn out. I've seen the rise and fall of more GTD systems than
God. Before they went computer they were filofax. Before filofax they were
note assemblies. Before note assemblies they were etc ... I worked through
Covey, MindMaps, Giants Within, ultimate systems etc ...

The point about GTD's, it turns out was never the systems, it was always
the user. There is NO GTD system that fits all. The BEST GTD's are ones you
create for yourself that emerge from your own process that fit you. In
other words: decent GTD systems are emergent expressions of you, they are
themselves part of the GTD you are working on. In that regard TW is very
good because of the extent you can customize it. And, to use a
philosophical term, TW inherently supports "reflexivity".

But still I want to widen your query to answer it properly. The options are
WIDER than software. They have to be because software is not me per se.
Software is an animal I can train, but only to the extent to which it can
perform the tricks I need. And paper remains pretty damn good for lateral
thinking and I use it a lot. And GTD's that last are adaptive to thinking
about "what am i doing?" as much as "when am i doing it?" Its been a big
error in the history of GTDs to ever pretend otherwise.

For people who need ALARM CALLS to GTD, TW does not yet fit the bill. It
has no alert mechanism that can prod the somnambulant GTDer to awake to The
Priority.

I have been very impressed and now use daily Thomas Elmiger's ToDoNow
plugin for TW. Why? Its orientated to the singular user. Its agnostic about
ones aims. It depicts tasks in CONTEXT (for me that OVERVIEW is more
important than the singular tasks). Its one of the most elegant designs for
a GTD I ever seen in my years of travail on the ToDo path.

Then you have Cardo in TW that can deal with very complex projects. And if
I was running one I'd definitely consider it. Its not far off full Project
Management Software, yet without the complexity of their interfaces.

---

Okay you asked what I used, seriously, before TW, it was a DOS program,
InfoSelect. Now gone, long replaced by a crappy Windows version. I'd love
to implement in TW how that worked if I had the skill. Its display
mechanism was brilliant. Everything was by default OPEN. Then as you typed
into the filter the widgets on screen reduced to only what you needed. I
loved it. You didn't search then click on an item. The search itself
dynamically reduced the entries. Unicode killed it unfortunately. It was
ASCII only.

Best wishes

TiddlyTweeter,

Thanks for this great feedback and thoughts. People like you are the kind
of folks who makes it not just effective, but also fun, to use TW.

I'll reply inline to what you said.

I agree with you deeply sir. I'm guessing I'm not as experienced as you,
but I am tired of productivity apps and to-do list apps out there that are
based on yet another company sitting on Amazon's servers somewhere hoping
to create an account for you and then down along the line some
social-network, and if they survive long enough, integrate some sort of a
chat app into it as well.. man, it's a pattern I see time and time again.
Don't care. TW is a private thing for me (it's my journal), it is not
really meant to share as a to do app, and if I want to ask someone to do
something, I make a to do to tell that person to do it.. right? I digress.

GTD is one big cult thing I missed on. I have the book and all and tried
it, but it just didn't do the thing for me. I have my own system, which I
developed throughout the years, and it is this system that survives through
the apps, and made its way into TW as well for a while. If you want to
share more of how you actually write your projects and tasks down, even
show me if you will, I'd be more than happy to see.

I took a deep look. It looks impressive, and I'm working out how to use it
exactly. Thomas' work looks solid and he is very organized, but the "jump"
is too high for me to understand at first or second glance. I'm going to
install the plugin, run it, work on it, see how it works, maybe get in
touch with him directly. When I understand how it works I'll see if it fits
my needs. I hope so, because saving my tasks and projects in TW, along with
my journal notes and my personal information, makes perfect sense. I'd love
to replace it with Google Keep, which I now use, if possible.

@Josiah

Like you I've tried dozens of information systems. In fact, I need an
information system to track the information systems I've used.

I dropped InfoSelect when they changed their pricing policy overnight
moving to a subscription model. Except that the subscription cost more than
my initial investment. Also, IS is mono-platform.

Okay you asked what I used, seriously, before TW, it was a DOS program,
InfoSelect. Now gone, long replaced by a crappy Windows version. I'd love
to implement in TW how that worked if I had the skill. Its display
mechanism was brilliant. Everything was by default OPEN. Then as you typed
into the filter the widgets on screen reduced to only what you needed. I
loved it. You didn't search then click on an item. The search itself
dynamically reduced the entries. Unicode killed it unfortunately. It was
ASCII only.

Its a very interesting subject. I suspect that Mark & Josiah went through a
very complex computer-cultural saga of lost promises. Hopefully later users
won't go so trustingly through that fiasco.

OK! So I went ahead and installed Thoma's ToDo, and here is how it looks
like in action:

<Loading Image...>

What I like about having my projects this way is that the checklist is
ordered in a way that makes sense to me (one of my rules is to try not use
more than three words for sake of simplicity).
Notice I am using a recent NYTimes articles that has a couple of tricks to
help as a reference, and that the Cafiza > Espresso Machine line is
actually a link to a YouTube video, it links to the exact second where they
show how to clean it. I will probably add more notes to this as I keep
repeating it...

Want to figure out a way to turn off the ability to mark this one as done
at the bottom row... because this is an ongoing one. But this is pure
cosmetics. Any questions, let me know! :)

Hey! How come mine doesn't work that way? When I check off a finished
project, it gets grayed and moved to the bottom. It doesn't get the
strike-thru yours has. Is there some magic CSS I need to tweak?

Thanks,
Mark

You need to add another action item: "schedule kitchen cleaning". This is
the last task to be completed and to complete it, you make a new set of
to-do entries that are a duplicate of the current set (or at least the ones
that should be done regularly) but with a due date in the future.
