Agreed, this was one of the best Tinderbox meetups so far.
Today’s discussion with Jorge Arango got me thinking about building a “Personal Knowledge Garden” entirely in Tinderbox; I’ve been using the “Linking Your Thinking” toolkit in Obsidian to do that, and Jorge clearly has a a lot of familiarity with Obsidian.
But, when I look closely at how I’m using Obsidian, the framework is basically a collection of text notes with properties and a folder structure, with intelligence supplied by Dataview plug-in code that builds “Maps” of links.
Tinderbox has that entire framework, plus a more powerful framework of Prototypes, Queries, and programmable action code … plus built-in views that promote discernment and boost perception.
I’m mindful of the comments about focusing on tools over understanding.
Anyways, I’m off to continue building this framework …
Looking forward to it! I’m up in the mountains of North-eastern India with limited and intermittent network connection. Quite untamed and beautiful here, with the occasional stunningly beautiful monastery visit
Yes, I agree. As you know, that is why I am building my entire knowledge efforts (my 5Cs) around Tinderbox as the centralized app within my vast ecosystem of knowledge management tools.
