Tinderbox Meetup SATURDAY Jan 31, 2026

Bring your projects and puzzlements! Everyone is welcome. Long-time Tinderbox users, new Tinderbox users, and non-Tinderbox users are very welcome to join in on the discussion.

Tinderbox Trainers Wanted

We are inviting Tinderbox community members to deliver a “Tinderbox in 10-minute Training” session. We want to kick off each weekly Tinderbox meetup with a 10-minute training that explores a Tinderbox feature and explains how to use it in a specific context. Again, the training should explain what the feature does and provide a contextual example of how the training is using it (sample files are most welcome). If you’d like to provide one of these trainings, please DM @satikusala or @eastgate on the Tinderbox Forum, and we’ll schedule your session on the Tinderbox Meetup Calendar.

@satikusala, I have a short demo of a non-trivial Apple Mail integration I built with Tinderbox that I’m calling md2email. I can demo it during the meetup tomorrow if there’s any interest.

Unfortunately, a fair amount of my work involves email exchanges, so I scratched an itch and solved a persistent issue I’ve been having. I plan to open source the project sometime soon.

Awesome!!! Can’t wait to see it, tomorrow. :slight_smile:

Would love to join, but wiped out, jet-lagged, and it’ll be 10:30 pm here in India.

See y’all next week :slight_smile:

Fortunately, we will soon have a recording of this event available as well – thanks to the seeder-feeder-awesomeness of this forum.

@satikusala, given our discussion yesterday at the meetup, I’ve decided to try to put my Markdown → email-safe HTML work on the, as they say, “bottom shelf” by building a Mac app—something that can be downloaded from the App Store—and will also have a CLI component for integration into Tinderbox.

I got the PoC working this morning:

There’s still a bit more hacking I need to do before this version of the project becomes useful, but I’m pretty close. I’ll have more to share soon.

Thank you, everyone, for your interest!

Tinderbox Meetup 31JAN26: Adv. TBX Email Automation, Markdown, and Presentations

This so freak’n’ cool! :slight_smile:

This looks really useful as it is. Any chance of putting the original md2email cli on GitHub?

@Robert, I created a full-fledged Mac app that has a bundled CLI you can use with Tinderbox to create styled and email-safe HTML.

If you’d like to give it a whirl, DM me your email and I’ll add you to the TestFlight.
