       Jamming with [[Orion Reed]]. Going to host his [[Causal Islands LA]] [talk](https://schedule.fission.codes/causal-islands-losangeles-2024/talk/BFFYFU/) at an upcoming [[Tools for Thought Rocks]] event so we get a recording.

       And I think it’s time to work on [[TiddlyWiki]] style drag and drop. I’ll post some background thoughts at [[Note Clips]].

       What if you could open your [[Digital Garden]] / Second Brain / Spatial Canvas / Notes website in a browser, and open any other web page, and drag and drop content into your own site?

       ## TiddlyWiki Drag and Drop

       [[TiddlyWiki]] has had this as a built in functionality for a long time. Founder [[Jeremy Ruston]] demos it here:

       This showcases two TiddlyWiki websites which are aware of the native “tiddler” format and so can import and drop in tiddler links within those systems.

       This might actually be relevant around [[Farcaster#Frames]] too — we should think about these things as social objects. Having [[OpenGraph]] header meta elements would be good when an entire page is being clipped.

       Could [[ATProtocol]] Lexicon be a useful definition?

       +
       Can we make a format and some widget code that enables this for any website?

       ### Git-based Static Sites

       This website is built in the [[Digital Garden Jekyll Template]] with a bunch of my own mostly display customizations.

       36

       Since it’s stored in a git repo on GitHub, it might be possible to accept such a drag and drop and then send it as a PR or an issue where I could accept and merge it.

       ### Targets

       40
       40
       +
       [[TiddlyWiki]] - can we make an adapter to accept TiddlyWiki and then transform it? A TW plugin could accept (or produce!) a new Note Clips format.

     

       41
       41
       +
       

     

       42
       42
       +
       [[TLDraw]]

     

       43
       43
       +
       

     

       44
       44
       +
       [[Obsidian]] - don’t know if Obsidian Publish has APIs? Would probably need to be done as a plugin which is slightly less fun than doing it between two web browser windows.

     

       45
       45
       +
       

     

       46
       46
       +
       [[Subconscious]] - this is kind of perfect for Noosphere and we should also talk to them about their IPLD structures. 

     

       47
       47
       +
       

     

       48
       48
       +
       iOS / Android Share sheet format - what kind of structured data is possible with share sheets?

       ## Features

       Ideally you’re clipping these notes and getting metadata that the source website is giving you, with some minimal set. 

     

       52
       52

       53

       [[Quotebacks]] are a nice display format. 

     

       54
       54
       +
       

     

       55
       55
       +
       It would be nice to enable [[transclusion]] but that likely requires the source website to be running something as well. 

     

       56
       56
       +
       

     

       57
       57
       +
       A spatial canvas / node view might add something interactive. Kind of like my [[notes]] node view. This would be amazing if you could surf across websites
