Need for Obsidian as well as TBX?

Q & A - getting started with Tinderbox
8

Welcome to the community. :slight_smile:

As was noted above, there is no app to rule them all. I use Tinderbox as the central hub for all of my work, as use a myriad of other apps, including Obsidian to as companions. In fact, I’ve created an entire thinking and contribution (publishing) process through and with Tinderbox that I call the 5Cs Framework.

I use Obsidian as my first line of note taking as it is accessible across all my devices. Also, it has “properties” that can be easily mapped to attributes in Tinderbox with some action code (we can discuss this more later).
