Ben Webber's New Plugin Library
Hi all,
I’ve been working on a plugin library for a while and I feel it’s mature enough to share:
https://benwebber.github.io/tiddlywiki-plugins/
These are all small plugins I’ve extracted from my own wikis. If you find them useful too, that’s even better!
Plugin developers may find the code interesting. I use TypeScript and Tailwind CSS. Each plugin avoids polluting the global macro namespace as much as possible using private macros. motion and tag-count are interesting examples of more advanced hacking, but some of the pure wikitext ones are pretty interesting too.
