If I got you right, then you can just open the said tag in Obsidian and see all references to it as backlinks on the side panel.

Backlinks, thank you. That was the word I was trying to think of and describe exactly this, missed it by THAT much, heh-drinks more coffee. Cheers, I'll definitely be taking this for a spin

  Psst, if you end up wanting to do backlinks in context by your notes in Tiddlywiki like Roam does, as shown here... https://i.imgur.com/n9ef25L.png https://i.imgur.com/n9ef25L.png I have how to do that here: https://lesser.occult.institute/an-opinionated-approach-to-tiddlywiki https://lesser.occult.institute/an-opinionated-approach-to-t... :)

    Done, cheers for that!

    Dang, my optical nerve retracted and disconnected from the retina, and is now sitting in some dark corner of some bar in the adrenal cortex drinking whisky in pure protest to your H1 styling.

        Kids? I'm probably old enough to vehemently request that you kindly get off my greensward. But let us not get bogged down with ageism, the real question is what kind of monster uses both cyan and magenta text-shadow diagonally offset against each other???? !!! .... ? :-)

        Any commenter with a greensward is a friend of mine! The answer is Google, sort of: https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/getting_started#enabling_font_effects_beta https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/getting_started#ena... The anaglyph effect is what I tweaked. It's not too unreadable with simpler fonts--I 100% acknowledge readability takes a massive hit with both the fraktur and the anaglyph. Ultimately, though, my goal with that blog is mostly to have fun, so the expressive aspect is important to me. I may play around later with doing an animated effect (a la https://codepen.io/anatravas/pen/mOyNWR https://codepen.io/anatravas/pen/mOyNWR ) so the glitchy vibe remains strong but there are more readable keyframes. (Would a proper designer use animated text like this? Certainly not. Am I a proper designer? Certainly certainly not.)
        voxelghost 6y ago
        I'm all for artistic freedom. Just letting you know in a jestful way that the design (and I am certainly not a proper, nor any other kind, designer either) that the design detracted/distracted from the message for this reader, to the point where I just hit back. Then I went back in again, and started poking around with the element inspector. Then we had this discussion, and I am still not sure what the page content was actually about, but I have a sense that I might have found it interesting if I had stuck with it.
        kixiQu 6y ago
        Fair enough; that artistic aspect means that for me, the design is part of the message so it's worth keeping. I think I do a similar thing with unstyled websites a la https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ ; the content has to look very interesting to me to be worth copying and pasting in CSS a la http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/ http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/ to actually read the thing. It's interesting to think about the wide range of tolerances out there for different kinds of visual presentation.

        In all fairness, they're pretty hard to read.

        Yup, acked in another comment. The "k" is especially out of the norm, so with the colors as well, it's Not Ideal

        Looks pretty great to me. I have a great book called Fraktur Mon Amour. Unfortunately it is out of print but if you can still get it somewhere I wholeheartedly recommend it.

        Powell's will send me an email when it's back in stock. Thanks!

    Great article on Tiddlywiki, thanks! I too hate the name tiddlers but love the software so I tolerate it.

    Do you know a single plugin to get the two columns layout of stroll?
    - kixiQu 6y ago
      Yup! The cool thing about Tiddlywiki is that because it's one massive blob that executes clientside, and because it's designed to be extensible, you can yank the plugin Stroll uses right out of Stroll. If you go to https://giffmex.org/stroll/stroll.html https://giffmex.org/stroll/stroll.html and click plugins on the sidebar, you can see a list of installed plugins; Stories is what he's using to get the second column, and it shows up with this link: https://giffmex.org/stroll/stroll.html#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Fsq%2FStories https://giffmex.org/stroll/stroll.html#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Fsq... Click and drag that to the tab with your own TW open, and you're good to go! I haven't used that plugin so I don't know if it's good or whatnot, but there you are.
      - qznc 6y ago
        Thank you! I did not think of grabbing it out of stroll. Tried searching for plugins but never encountered the "Stories" plugin.
