Screenshot of the “extras” panel that you won’t ever see
This new extras panel on the create site form works nicely (in our development environment). It slides down alluringly when you click “custom” and slides back when you click “standard”. We even connected it up so it created your site with the extras you asked for. We have decided not to use it though for a combination of reasons:
- Too much thinking required for new users
- What if you want to change your mind later? The site control panel is needed so why not make that the place to add plugins.
- We realised that the goal of making it easier to install plugins in your TiddlyWiki shouldn’t be tiddlyspot.com specific but rather it should be be addressed more holistically for any TiddlyWiki. I’m picturing a PluginManagerPlugin that can ship with (or fetch) a list of recommended/certified plugins with some meta data, and provide one click install/upgrade of those plugins in your local TiddlyWiki.

I have to confirm Simon’s claim of how “alluringly” the options panel slid open and closed. Over the last few days I’ve probably spent a good fifteen minutes just clicking it open and shut.
I could claim that I was thinking about the layout, at the time. Yeah.. yeah, that’s what I was doing.

The last point is so great. I’m looking forward to this “PluginManagerPlugin”
